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

A mandrel bend is created using a flexible mold (mandrel) inside the tube during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, ensuring a smooth, consistent inner diameter. This is important for exhaust fabrication because it maintains optimal airflow and prevents restrictions that can hurt engine performance.

What is the advantage of using 304 stainless steel for exhaust tubing?

304 stainless steel is a well-known material for exhaust components because it offers strong resistance to corrosion and rust. This means your custom exhaust system will hold up better over time, especially in harsh weather conditions, and maintain its appearance.

Does this bend come with any hardware for installation?

This product is a single exhaust tube bend intended for custom fabrication. It does not include any additional hardware, clamps, or connectors, as these will depend on the specific design of your custom exhaust system.

Product Details

This is a 1-3/4 inch, 90-degree mandrel bend from Stainless Works, designed for custom exhaust fabrication. It’s made from 304 stainless steel, which is a solid choice for resisting corrosion, especially in exhaust systems. The tubing has a .065 wall thickness and features CNC mandrel bends, meaning the tube is bent smoothly without kinking or collapsing, which helps maintain good exhaust flow. Each leg of the bend is at least 6 inches long, giving you plenty of material to work with when you're building a custom exhaust system.

Using mandrel bends like these is important for any custom exhaust build because they ensure consistent diameter throughout the bend. This helps the engine breathe easier compared to crush bends, which can restrict flow. The 304 stainless steel construction means it's built to last and resist rust, making it a popular choice for builders who want a durable, good-looking exhaust system.
