3-1/2in x .065 Tubing 45 Degree Mandrel Bend

The STAINLESS WORKS 3-1/2in x .065 Tubing 45 Degree Mandrel Bend (model MB45350) is a precision exhaust component designed for custom exhaust system fabrication and modification. This 45-degree mandrel bend features 3.5-inch diameter tubing with 6-inch legs and is constructed from 16-gauge stainless steel, making it suitable for high-temperature exhaust applications where corrosion resistance and durability are essential.

Mandrel bending technology preserves the tubing's internal diameter and maintains uniform wall thickness throughout the bend, preventing kinks and flow restrictions that compromise exhaust scavenging efficiency. The .065-inch wall thickness and stainless steel construction withstand thermal cycling and corrosive exhaust gases without degradation. The 45-degree angle is a standard configuration for directional routing in custom exhaust headers, intake manifolds, and emission system modifications where space or clearance constraints require specific bend angles.

This component serves fabricators, restoration specialists, and performance enthusiasts building or rebuilding exhaust systems for vehicles where OEM routing cannot be used. Whether adapting modern engines to classic chassis, implementing custom header designs, or engineering emissions-compliant systems, mandrel bends maintain flow characteristics that welded or bent alternatives cannot match. The natural stainless finish resists oxidation in engine bay conditions and can be polished or ceramic-coated for aesthetic finishing.

STAINLESS WORKS has established a reputation in the exhaust fabrication industry for precision mandrel-bent components that meet tight tolerances. The 3.5-inch diameter supports applications ranging from small-block to mid-sized engines, accommodating multiple cylinder configurations in both naturally aspirated and forced-induction setups.
