Vibrant 180 Degree Mandrel Bend - 2in O.D x 3in CLR - 18 Gauge Wall Thickness

Vibrant is a well-known name for performance exhaust parts, and this 180-degree mandrel bend continues that tradition. If you're fabricating a custom exhaust system, especially for a forced induction setup, this piece is built to handle the heat. It’s made from 321 stainless steel, which holds up better than 304 stainless steel when temperatures climb between 800°F and 1500°F.

Beyond just heat resistance, 321 stainless steel also offers improved corrosion resistance and is stronger under stress compared to 304. This bend has a 2-inch outer diameter with a 3-inch centerline radius and an 18-gauge wall thickness (0.049 inches), giving you a solid foundation for your custom fabrication project. The mandrel bending process ensures a smooth, consistent bend without kinking or collapsing the tubing, which is crucial for maintaining exhaust flow.
