Aluminum Bent Elbow 1.000 45-Degree

The aluminum bent elbow 1.000 45-degree from WOOLF AIRCRAFT PRODUCTS is purpose-built for custom intake manifold construction, intercooler piping, and turbo ducting in high-performance automotive applications. Whether you're fabricating a cold-air intake system, routing coolant lines in a tight engine bay, or constructing custom exhaust passages, this precision bend delivers the exact geometry needed without custom welding. Automotive fabricators and weekend builders rely on pre-bent elbows to maintain consistent angles, reduce labor time, and ensure repeatable results across multiple builds.

This aluminum bent elbow features a 1.000-inch outer diameter with a 0.065-inch wall thickness and a 1-inch bend radius, engineered for smooth airflow and minimal turbulence in induction and cooling circuits. The 45-degree angle is ideal for directional changes where space is constrained or where aerodynamic efficiency matters—such as intercooler outlet pipes or catch-can breather lines. Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum in natural finish, the material offers excellent corrosion resistance, lightweight properties (0.25 lbs), and full machinability for adapters, flanges, or welding bungs. The controlled bend radius prevents kinking and maintains structural integrity under boost pressure and thermal cycling.

Professional engine builders, turbo kit manufacturers, and custom intake fabricators specify WOOLF Aircraft Products bends because of their consistency and aircraft-grade tolerances. The 12.45-inch overall length accommodates most single-bend routing applications without requiring secondary cuts. This elbow pairs seamlessly with 1-inch diameter silicone hose, aluminum couplers, and intercooler end tanks; verify your system's ID/OD requirements before purchase. Its compact dimensions (3.3 x 1 x 12.45 inches) make it suitable for tight engine bays in street cars, track vehicles, and engine swap projects where off-the-shelf manifolds won't fit.
