What makes T304 stainless steel a good choice for exhaust components?

T304 stainless steel is chosen for its excellent resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. This makes it ideal for exhaust systems that are exposed to harsh road conditions and extreme heat.

Why is a mandrel bend important for exhaust fabrication?

Mandrel bending ensures that the tubing maintains a consistent diameter and shape throughout the bend. This prevents kinks and restrictions, which helps maintain optimal exhaust flow and performance compared to crush bends.

What does the 1.875-inch centerline radius mean?

The centerline radius refers to the radius of the bend measured along the center of the tube. A 1.875-inch radius on this 1.875-inch O.D. tube indicates a relatively tight, but smooth, bend suitable for many custom fabrication needs.

About this part

Product Details

When you're fabricating a custom exhaust system, headers, or other high-heat components, having the right tubing bends makes all the difference. This 45-degree mandrel bend from Vibrant is made from T304 stainless steel, a material known for its ability to handle corrosive conditions and high temperatures without issue.

The 1.875-inch outer diameter and 1.875-inch centerline radius mean this bend offers a smooth, consistent path for exhaust gases, which is crucial for maintaining flow. Because it's a mandrel bend, the tubing maintains its shape and diameter through the bend, avoiding kinks or restrictions that can hurt performance. The 16-gauge wall thickness provides a solid foundation for welding and fabrication, and the T304 stainless steel itself requires minimal prep work before you start joining pieces.

This piece is designed to be a building block for your custom exhaust project. Its durable stainless steel construction means it's built to last in demanding environments.
