What makes this bend a 'mandrel' bend?

A mandrel bend is created using a flexible metal 'mandrel' inside the tube during the bending process. This supports the tube wall, preventing it from collapsing or wrinkling, which keeps the inside diameter consistent for better exhaust flow.

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

304 stainless steel offers good resistance to corrosion and heat, making it a popular choice for exhaust components. It holds up well against the harsh conditions found in exhaust systems.

Does this bend come with any hardware for installation?

This is a raw fabrication component intended for custom welding. It does not include any hardware or clamps; you will need to source those separately based on your specific installation needs.

Product Details

Stainless Works is well-known for building high-performance exhaust systems. This 1-5/8 inch, 45-degree mandrel bend is a key component for custom exhaust fabrication. It’s designed to help you create smooth, efficient exhaust routing on a wide range of vehicles.

This bend is made from 304 stainless steel, which is a solid choice for resisting corrosion, especially in exhaust applications. The tubing has a .065 wall thickness and is CNC mandrel bent. This means the bend maintains its shape and diameter throughout the curve, ensuring unrestricted exhaust flow without kinks or wrinkles. Each leg on the bend is a minimum of 6 inches long, giving you plenty of material to work with for welding and fitting into your custom exhaust setup.

Because this is a universal fabrication part, it’s meant for custom builds where precise fitment is achieved through welding and cutting. It comes with a lifetime warranty and is proudly made in the USA.
