45 Degree Brushed Mandre l Bend 2.25in O.D.

The 45 Degree Brushed Mandrel Bend 2.25in O.D. by Vibrant Performance is a precision exhaust component engineered for builders who demand smooth, efficient flow through custom exhaust systems. This mandrel-bent elbow is essential for fabricating turbo manifolds, intake runners, and intercooler piping where directional changes must maintain consistent internal geometry and minimal turbulence. Whether you're constructing a high-performance exhaust system, upgrading a forced-induction setup, or repairing damaged tubing, this stainless steel bend delivers the reliability and fitment accuracy that professional shops and serious enthusiasts depend on.

Mandrel bending preserves wall thickness and internal diameter throughout the bend radius, preventing the collapse or kinking that occurs with cheaper crush-bent alternatives. This 45-degree bend features a 2.25-inch outer diameter with a 2.25-inch bend radius and 0.92-inch leg lengths, making it compatible with standard 2.25-inch exhaust and intake tubing systems common in mid-range performance vehicles. Constructed from natural stainless steel, it resists corrosion from moisture and exhaust gases while maintaining structural integrity under high temperatures and vibration. The brushed finish offers both durability and a professional appearance, ideal for visible engine bay installations.

This component suits turbocharged and naturally aspirated builds where smooth transitions between piping runs are critical to system performance. Installation is straightforward—weld or clamp directly into your exhaust or intake manifold assembly. The compact dimensions (2 x 2 x 3 inches) and lightweight construction (0.26 lbs) make it easy to integrate into tight engine compartments without adding unnecessary mass. Vibrant Performance's mandrel bends are trusted by fabricators, performance shops, and DIY builders across the automotive aftermarket for their consistent quality and precise tolerances.
