What makes mandrel bends better for exhaust systems?

Mandrel bending uses a solid internal support to maintain the tube's shape during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, ensuring a smooth, consistent inner diameter. This smooth flow helps exhaust gases exit the engine more efficiently, which can improve performance.

What is the benefit of using 304 stainless steel for exhaust tubing?

304 stainless steel is a well-known material for exhaust components because it offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion. This is especially important for exhaust systems, which are exposed to heat, moisture, and road salt. Using 304 stainless steel helps ensure the longevity of your custom fabrication.

Does this bend come with any hardware or clamps?

This product is a single 3-inch 45-degree mandrel bend tube. It does not include any additional hardware, clamps, or welding supplies. You will need to source those separately based on your specific fabrication needs.

Product Details

What you get here is a single 3-inch diameter exhaust tube with a 45-degree bend. It's made from 304 stainless steel, which is a solid choice for resisting rust and corrosion, especially in exhaust systems. The wall thickness is .065 inches, and it has at least 6 inches of straight tubing on each end of the bend, giving you plenty of room to work with for custom exhaust fabrication.

This piece is CNC mandrel bent, meaning it keeps a consistent diameter through the bend without collapsing or wrinkling. That's important for maintaining good exhaust flow, which can make a difference in how your engine performs. The smooth, wrinkle-free bends are exactly what you want when you're building a custom exhaust system from scratch, whether it's for a specific project or just to get a unique sound.

Stainless Works backs this bend with a lifetime warranty, and it's made right here in the USA. It's a well-built component for anyone looking to fabricate their own exhaust system.
