What makes T304 stainless steel suitable for exhaust systems?

T304 stainless steel is chosen for exhaust components because it offers good resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. This makes it well-suited to withstand the acidic exhaust gases and heat generated by an engine.

What does '180 Degree Mandrel Bend' mean?

A mandrel bend uses a mandrel inside the tube during the bending process to prevent the tube from collapsing or kinking. This ensures a smooth, consistent inner diameter throughout the bend, which is important for exhaust flow.

What is the purpose of the 2.375-inch centerline radius?

The centerline radius refers to the distance from the center of the tube to the center of the bend. A smaller radius, like 2.375 inches on this 1.5-inch OD tube, indicates a tighter bend, allowing for more compact routing in custom fabrication.
