Vibrant 321 Stainless Steel 90 Degree Mandrel Bend 1.50in OD x 2.25in CLR - 16 Gauge Wall Thickness

Vibrant is a well-known name in the performance exhaust world, and they offer a wide range of fabrication components. This 90-degree mandrel bend is made from 321 stainless steel, which is a step up from the more common 304 stainless for certain applications. If you're building a custom exhaust system, especially for a turbocharged or supercharged vehicle, the 321 material is a smart choice.

This bend has an outside diameter of 1.50 inches and a wall thickness of 16 gauge, which is about 0.065 inches. The 321 stainless steel holds up much better than 304 when temperatures get really high, between 800°F and 1500°F. It also resists corrosion better and is stronger under stress, meaning it's less likely to crack over time. The mandrel bend ensures a smooth, consistent radius throughout the curve, which helps maintain exhaust flow without kinks.
