Vibrant 321 SS 180 Degree Mandrel Bend 2.50in O.D. x 3.75in CLR - 16 Gauge Wall Thickness

This is a Vibrant 180-degree mandrel bend, made from 321 stainless steel with a 2.5-inch outer diameter and a 16-gauge wall thickness. It's designed for custom exhaust fabrication, especially in applications where the tubing will see prolonged, high operating temperatures, ranging from 800 to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. The 321 stainless steel offers better performance than 304 stainless in these conditions, providing improved corrosion resistance and a stronger ability to handle tensile stress and prevent fractures.

The mandrel bending process ensures that the tube maintains a consistent diameter throughout the bend, which is crucial for smooth exhaust flow and preventing restrictions. This specific bend has a centerline radius of 3.75 inches and 6-inch leg lengths from the tangent point, giving you ample material to work with when integrating it into a custom exhaust system. Its robust construction makes it a solid choice for forced induction setups or any exhaust project demanding durability under heat.
