Ticon 1.25in Aluminum 6061 180 Degree Mandrel Bend - 1.5D Radius

When you're fabricating a custom exhaust system, getting the bends just right is key to a clean install and good flow. This 180-degree mandrel bend from Ticon is made from Aluminum 6061, a popular choice for its lightweight properties and corrosion resistance, making it a solid option for many exhaust projects.

This piece features a 1.5D radius, meaning the center line of the bend is 1.5 times the diameter of the tubing away from the center of the tube itself. This tighter radius allows for more compact bends, which can be really helpful when you're working in tight spaces or trying to achieve a specific routing. The mandrel bending process ensures the tube maintains its shape and diameter throughout the bend, preventing kinks and maintaining consistent airflow, which is crucial for performance.
