Vibrant 321 Stainless Steel 90 Degree Mandrel Bend 2.00in OD x 3.00in CLR - 16 Gauge Wall Thickness

If you're building a custom exhaust system, especially for a forced induction setup, you know how critical it is to use materials that can handle high heat and stress. This 90-degree mandrel bend from Vibrant is made from 321 stainless steel, which performs better than 304 stainless steel when exposed to prolonged, elevated temperatures, typically between 800°F and 1500°F.

Beyond its high-temperature capabilities, 321 stainless steel also offers better corrosion resistance and is more resistant to tensile stress and stress fractures compared to 304. This particular bend has a 2-inch outer diameter, a 3-inch centerline radius, and a 16-gauge wall thickness, meaning it's well-built for demanding exhaust fabrication projects. The mandrel bending process ensures a smooth, consistent bend without any kinking or collapsing, which is crucial for maintaining exhaust flow.
