Vibrant 321 Stainless Steel 180 Degree Mandrel Bend 1.50in OD x 2.25in CLR 18 Gauge Wall Thickness

This is a Vibrant 180-degree mandrel bend, made from 321 stainless steel. It's designed for custom exhaust fabrication, especially in applications where temperatures get pretty high. You'll find this kind of tubing is often used in forced induction setups because it handles heat better than standard 304 stainless steel.

The 321 stainless steel offers improved corrosion resistance and is more resistant to stress fractures compared to 304. This particular bend has a 1.50-inch outer diameter, an 18-gauge wall thickness (which is 0.049 inches), and a centerline radius of 2.25 inches. The mandrel bending process ensures the tube maintains its shape and diameter throughout the bend, which is crucial for smooth exhaust flow.
