What makes mandrel bends better for exhaust systems?

Mandrel bending uses a solid core inside the tube during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, ensuring the internal diameter stays consistent. This smooth, wrinkle-free passage allows exhaust gases to flow more freely, which can improve performance.

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, especially in the harsh environment of an exhaust system. This durability means the tubing is likely to last longer, even when exposed to heat and moisture.

What does the .065 wall thickness mean for fabrication?

A .065 wall thickness is a common choice for exhaust fabrication. It's thick enough to be durable and hold up to welding, but not so thick that it becomes excessively heavy or difficult to work with when bending and shaping.

Product Details

This 2-inch, 180-degree mandrel bend from Stainless Works is made from 304 stainless steel, chosen for its strong resistance to corrosion. The .065 wall thickness offers a good balance for fabrication projects. Each bend is CNC mandrel bent, which means the tube maintains its full diameter through the curve, ensuring smooth, unrestricted exhaust flow. This is crucial for custom exhaust systems where every bit of flow counts.

With 6-inch legs on either side of the 180-degree bend, this piece is ready for custom fabrication. The smooth, wrinkle-free bends are ideal for building custom exhaust headers, mid-pipes, or any application where you need to make a tight, flowing turn. It's a well-built component designed for builders who need reliable, high-flow exhaust tubing.
