What makes a 'mandrel bend' different from a regular bend?

A mandrel bend is bent while supported internally by a 'mandrel'. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking during the bending process, resulting in a smooth, consistent inner diameter that's much better for exhaust flow.

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

304 stainless steel is a popular choice for exhaust components because it offers excellent resistance to corrosion and heat. This helps the part last longer, especially in harsh conditions like exposure to road salt and exhaust gases.

What does the .065 wall thickness mean for this bend?

The .065 wall thickness refers to how thick the steel is. This is a common thickness for larger diameter exhaust tubing, offering a good balance between strength and weight for custom fabrication projects.

Product Details

If you're building a custom exhaust system, getting the bends just right is key for smooth flow. This 90-degree mandrel bend from Stainless Works is designed to help you achieve that. It's made from 304 stainless steel, which is a solid choice for exhaust components because it holds up well against corrosion, especially important for anything under the car that sees road salt and moisture.

What makes this bend stand out is that it's CNC mandrel bent. This process means the tube is supported from the inside during bending, so you get smooth, wrinkle-free curves. This is crucial for exhaust flow; sharp kinks or collapsed sections can really choke up your engine's ability to breathe. The 5-inch diameter and .065 wall thickness are common specs for larger exhaust systems, and the legs are at least 6 inches long, giving you plenty of material to work with when connecting it to other pipes. It's a well-built piece that makes custom exhaust fabrication a lot easier.
