180 Deg Aluminum Elbow 3in OD x 2-1/2in Long

The 180 Deg Aluminum Elbow 3in OD x 2-1/2in Long from Vibrant Performance is an essential component for custom automotive builds and high-performance engine modifications. This 180-degree turn fitting is designed to facilitate directional flow changes in turbo systems, intake manifold routing, and intercooler piping setups, particularly in tight spaces where traditional fittings may not fit.

Constructed from high-grade aluminum, this elbow combines a lightweight design with excellent thermal conductivity, making it ideal for managing heat dissipation in charge-air cooler and intercooler circuits. The 3-inch outer diameter is compatible with standard 3-inch tubing commonly used in aftermarket boost piping, while the 2-1/2-inch length ensures it fits snugly in compact installations.

This aluminum elbow is particularly beneficial for those fabricating custom intake tracts or upgrading forced induction systems, providing the structural integrity and thermal properties necessary for reliable operation under boost pressure and elevated temperatures. Its smooth interior bore minimizes flow turbulence and pressure loss, which are critical for maximizing boost efficiency and preventing compressor surge.
