What is a mandrel bend and why is it important for exhaust systems?

A mandrel bend is created using a flexible mandrel inside the tube during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, maintaining its original diameter and shape. For exhaust systems, this means smoother airflow and less restriction, which can improve performance.

What makes 304 stainless steel a good choice for exhaust components?

304 stainless steel is a well-known alloy for exhaust applications because it offers excellent resistance to corrosion and heat. This helps the component last longer, especially in the harsh environment under a vehicle.

Does this bend come with any hardware or clamps?

This product is a single piece of exhaust tubing bend. Hardware, clamps, or additional tubing needed for your fabrication project are sold separately.

Product Details

If you're building a custom exhaust system or fabricating a unique exhaust component, having the right bends is crucial for smooth flow. This 45-degree mandrel bend from Stainless Works is designed to help you achieve that. It’s made from 304 stainless steel, which is a solid choice for exhaust work because it holds up well against corrosion and heat.

The key here is the CNC mandrel bending process. Unlike crush bends, mandrel bending keeps the tube's diameter consistent through the curve, preventing kinks or wrinkles that can restrict exhaust gases. This means your engine can breathe easier, leading to better performance. The tube measures 1-3/4 inches in diameter with a .065 inch wall thickness, and each leg is at least 6 inches long, giving you plenty of material to work with for your project.

This bend is a popular choice for fabricators looking for a reliable component for custom exhaust builds. It comes with a lifetime warranty, and it's proudly made in the USA.
