What makes this bend 'mandrel bent'?

Mandrel bending uses a supportive core (the mandrel) inside the tube during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, ensuring the diameter stays consistent throughout the bend for better exhaust flow.

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

304 stainless steel is well-known for its excellent resistance to rust and corrosion. This is important for exhaust components, which are exposed to moisture, heat, and road debris.

Product Details

Stainless Works is known for making well-built exhaust components, and this 45-degree mandrel bend is a prime example of their fabrication expertise. If you're putting together a custom exhaust system, this piece is designed to help you achieve smooth transitions and optimal flow. It’s a 2-3/8 inch diameter tube with a 45-degree bend, perfect for routing exhaust gases around obstacles or connecting different sections of pipe.

What sets this bend apart is that it's CNC mandrel bent. This process means the tube maintains its full diameter through the bend, avoiding any kinks or wrinkles that could restrict exhaust flow. It's constructed 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 wall thickness is .065 inches, providing a good balance of strength and workability for custom fabrication projects. Each leg of the bend is at least 6 inches long, giving you plenty of material to work with when welding and fitting.

This bend is a universal part, meaning it can be used on a wide variety of vehicles for custom exhaust builds. It comes with a lifetime warranty from Stainless Works, underscoring their confidence in the product's durability. If you're fabricating a custom exhaust, this bend offers a reliable way to achieve clean, smooth routing.
