Vibrant 321 Stainless Steel 180 Degree Mandrel Bend 1.75in OD x 2.625in CLR 18 Gauge Wall Thickness

Vibrant is known for making well-built exhaust and fabrication components. This 180-degree mandrel bend is crafted from 321 stainless steel, a material that stands up better than 304 stainless steel when things get really hot, like in forced induction setups. It can handle temperatures from 800°F up to 1500°F, making it a solid choice for exhaust systems that see a lot of heat.

Beyond just heat resistance, 321 stainless steel also offers improved corrosion resistance and is stronger under stress, meaning it's less likely to develop cracks over time compared to 304. This particular bend has an outside diameter of 1.75 inches, a centerline radius of 2.625 inches, and an 18-gauge wall thickness, which is about 0.049 inches thick. It's a popular choice for custom exhaust fabrication where precise bends are needed.
