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

A mandrel bend is created using a flexible mandrel inside the tubing during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, ensuring a smooth, consistent inner diameter. For exhaust systems, this smooth flow helps maintain exhaust gas velocity and engine performance.

What does the .065 wall thickness mean for this tubing?

The .065 wall thickness indicates the thickness of the steel tubing. This is a common and well-built thickness for custom exhaust fabrication, providing durability for welding and general use without being excessively heavy.

What is 304 stainless steel known for?

304 stainless steel is a popular choice for exhaust components because it offers good resistance to corrosion and heat. This helps the tubing last longer, especially in the harsh environment under a vehicle.

Product Details

This is a 1-7/8 inch, 180-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 bend is CNC mandrel bent, meaning it maintains a smooth, consistent radius without any wrinkles inside. This is important for keeping exhaust gases flowing freely, which helps your engine perform at its best.

With a .065 wall thickness, this tubing is well-built for custom exhaust projects. The 180-degree shape, often called a U-bend, is useful for making tight turns or completing a loop in your exhaust system. Each leg on this bend measures at least 6 inches, giving you enough material to work with when welding it into your custom setup. Stainless Works proudly makes these in the USA and backs them with a lifetime warranty.
