What is a mandrel bend and why is it important?

A mandrel bend is created using a flexible internal mold (mandrel) that supports the tube as it's bent. This prevents the tube walls from collapsing or kinking, ensuring a smooth, consistent inner diameter and maintaining airflow.

What are the benefits of using 304 stainless steel for exhaust tubing?

304 stainless steel is chosen for its excellent resistance to corrosion and heat. This makes it a durable material for exhaust components that are exposed to exhaust gases, moisture, and varying temperatures.

What kind of projects is this tubing typically used for?

This type of tubing is commonly used in custom exhaust system fabrication, intercooler piping for turbocharged engines, or other custom intake and plumbing applications where precise bends and durable materials are needed.

About this part

Product Details

This 120-degree bend is made from 304 stainless steel, a material known for its good corrosion resistance, making it a solid choice for exhaust fabrication or custom intake piping. The tubing measures 1.75 inches in outer diameter, with a 2-inch centerline radius, and features mandrel bends to ensure the tube walls don't collapse during the bending process. This maintains consistent inner diameter and flow characteristics throughout the bend, which is crucial for performance.

With leg lengths of 4 inches and 12 inches from the tangent points, this piece offers flexibility for custom routing in your exhaust or intake system. The 304 stainless steel construction means it can handle the heat and environmental exposure common in exhaust applications. It's a well-built component for anyone building or modifying exhaust systems, intercooler piping, or other custom tubing projects.
