What makes a 'mandrel bend' different from other types of bends?

A mandrel bend uses a support tool inside the tube during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, ensuring a smooth, consistent inner diameter and optimal exhaust flow compared to crush bends.

What is 304 stainless steel good for in an exhaust system?

304 stainless steel is chosen for exhaust components because it offers excellent resistance to corrosion and heat. This helps the tubing last longer, especially in areas exposed to moisture and road salt.

What does the .065 wall thickness mean for fabrication?

A .065 wall thickness is a common specification for exhaust tubing. It's strong enough to withstand exhaust system pressures and vibrations, and it's generally easy to weld for custom fabrication projects.

Product Details

Stainless Works is known for making well-built exhaust components, and this 1-7/8 inch 90-degree mandrel bend is a prime example. If you're building a custom exhaust system, whether for a performance upgrade or a unique project, having smooth, consistent bends is key to good flow. This piece 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, especially in the harsh environment under your vehicle. The .065 wall thickness is common for exhaust tubing, offering a good balance of strength and ease of welding. What really sets this apart is the CNC mandrel bending process. Unlike crush bends, mandrel bending uses a support inside the tube to maintain its shape and diameter through the curve, ensuring there are no wrinkles or restrictions that could hurt exhaust flow. Each leg on this bend is a minimum of 6 inches long, giving you plenty of material to work with when connecting it to other sections of your exhaust.

This bend is a universal part, meaning it's intended for custom fabrication where you're cutting and welding tubing to fit your specific needs. It comes with a lifetime warranty from Stainless Works, and it's proudly made in the USA.
