Vibrant 321 Stainless Steel 90 Degree Mandrel Bend 1.75in OD x 2.625in CLR - 18 Gauge Wall Thickness

This is a Vibrant 90-degree mandrel bend, made from 321 stainless steel with a 1.75-inch outer diameter and an 18-gauge wall thickness. It's designed for custom exhaust fabrication, especially in applications that see a lot of heat.

Compared to 304 stainless steel, 321 stainless steel handles prolonged high temperatures much better, from 800 to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes it a solid choice for forced induction setups where exhaust gas temperatures can get really high. It also offers better corrosion resistance and is stronger under stress, meaning it's less likely to develop cracks over time.

This particular bend has a 2.625-inch centerline radius and 6-inch leg lengths from the tangent point. The 18-gauge wall thickness provides a good balance of strength and workability for custom exhaust projects.
