What does 'mandrel bent' mean for this tubing?

Mandrel bending uses a "biscuit" or mandrel inside the tube during the bending process. This supports the tube's inner wall, preventing it from collapsing or wrinkling. For exhaust systems, this ensures a smooth, consistent inner diameter for optimal airflow.

Why is 304 stainless steel a good choice for exhaust tubing?

304 stainless steel is a popular choice because it offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion. This is important for exhaust components that are exposed to high temperatures, moisture, and exhaust byproducts.

What is the typical use for a 180-degree bend like this?

A 180-degree bend, often called a U-bend, is commonly used in custom exhaust fabrication to make sharp turns or to reverse the direction of tubing. It's useful for routing exhaust pipes in tight spaces or creating specific system layouts.

Product Details

This 180-degree U-bend from Stainless Works is CNC mandrel bent, meaning it maintains a smooth, consistent inner diameter throughout the curve. This is crucial for exhaust systems because it helps keep airflow unrestricted, preventing turbulence that can rob power and create unwanted noise. The bend itself is made from 304 stainless steel, a well-known material for its strong resistance to corrosion, which is important for parts exposed to exhaust gases and the elements.

With a 2-1/8 inch outer diameter and a .065 inch wall thickness, this tubing is built to handle the demands of custom exhaust fabrication. The smooth, wrinkle-free bends make it easier to work with when you're building a custom exhaust system, whether you're routing pipes around obstacles or connecting different components. Each leg of the U-bend measures at least 6 inches, giving you ample material to work with for your project.
