What is a mandrel bend and why is it important for exhaust systems?

A mandrel bend is created using a flexible mandrel inside the tubing during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, maintaining its original inner diameter and ensuring smooth exhaust flow. This is important for performance and preventing restrictions.

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

304 stainless steel is a popular choice for exhaust components because it offers good resistance to corrosion and heat. This helps the tubing last longer in the harsh environment under a vehicle.

What do the leg lengths refer to on this tubing?

The leg lengths, 4 inches and 12 inches, are measured from the tangent point of the bend to the end of the tube. These measurements are helpful for planning how this piece will connect to other sections of your custom exhaust system.

Product Details

Vibrant is a well-known name in the world of exhaust fabrication, offering a wide range of components for custom builds. This particular piece is a 120-degree mandrel bend made from 304 stainless steel, designed for those crafting their own exhaust systems. The 1.75-inch outer diameter and 6-inch centerline radius offer a specific curve that can be crucial for routing exhaust gases effectively around obstacles or achieving a desired system layout.

What sets this tubing apart is the mandrel bending process. Unlike crush bends, mandrel bending maintains the tube's inner diameter throughout the curve, which helps ensure consistent exhaust flow and prevents restrictions. The 304 stainless steel material is chosen for its good resistance to corrosion, making it a solid choice for exhaust components that need to hold up over time. You'll find the leg lengths are 4 inches on one side and 12 inches on the other, measured from the tangent point of the bend, which can be helpful for planning your cuts and connections.
