Vibrant 321 Stainless Steel 180 Degree Mandrel Bend 1.50in OD x 2.25in CLR 16 Gauge Wall Thickness

If you're fabricating a custom exhaust system, especially for a forced induction setup, this Vibrant 180-degree mandrel bend is a solid choice. It's made from 321 stainless steel, which handles prolonged high temperatures much better than standard 304 stainless steel, making it ideal for exhaust components that see a lot of heat, like turbo piping or headers.

This bend has a 1.50-inch outer diameter and a 16-gauge wall thickness, which is about 0.065 inches. The 321 stainless steel offers improved corrosion resistance and is stronger under stress compared to 304, meaning it's less likely to develop stress fractures over time. The mandrel bending process ensures a smooth, consistent bend without collapsing the tube, which is crucial for maintaining good exhaust flow.
