Vibrant 321 Stainless Steel 90 Degree Mandrel Bend 2.25in OD x 3.375in CLR - 16 Gauge Wall Thickness

This is a Vibrant 90-degree mandrel bend, made from 321 stainless steel with a 2.25-inch outer diameter and a 16-gauge wall thickness. Mandrel bends are crucial for exhaust fabrication because they maintain a consistent inner diameter throughout the bend, unlike crush bends which can restrict flow. This specific bend has a centerline radius of 3.375 inches, giving you a smooth, gradual turn for your custom exhaust system.

The 321 stainless steel material is a step up from the more common 304 stainless, especially when your exhaust system will see prolonged high temperatures, like in forced induction applications. It handles temperatures between 800°F and 1500°F much better, resisting corrosion and stress fractures more effectively than 304. This makes it a solid choice for building custom exhaust piping that needs to last under demanding conditions.
