90 Degree Brushed Mandre l Bend 2.75in O.D.

The 90 Degree Brushed Mandrel Bend 2.75in O.D. from VIBRANT PERFORMANCE is a precision exhaust or intake tubing component designed for builders and fabricators who demand clean, radius-controlled bends without deformation. Mandrel bending technology maintains consistent wall thickness and inner diameter throughout the curve—critical for flow efficiency and structural integrity in custom exhaust systems, turbo piping, and intercooler installations. This 90-degree elbow serves both street and performance applications where smooth bends reduce turbulence and support consistent pressure differentials across the system.

The brushed stainless or mandrel-bent steel construction resists collapse and kinking that occur with cheaper compression bends, preserving flow velocity and exhaust scavenging in tuned engines. The 2.75-inch outer diameter makes it compatible with common aftermarket piping diameters (typically 2.5-inch inner diameter), fitting mid-sized boosted applications from four-cylinder turbocharged builds to small-block V8 swaps. The tight radius inherent to mandrel bending allows compact routing in tight engine bays—essential for modern platform conversions—while the brushed finish resists corrosion and matches other polished or satin exhaust components for a professional appearance.

Fabricators, hot rodders, and tuners building custom exhaust or intake systems benefit most from this bend's precision and durability. Use this fitting where you need reliable directional changes without welding elbows or cutting and re-joining tubing—saving labor time and preserving system sealing integrity. Weighing only 0.75 lbs, it's lightweight enough for racing applications while robust enough for daily-driven street cars. Installation requires standard TIG welding or compression fittings compatible with 2.75-inch O.D. tubing; verify your piping wall thickness and fitting type before ordering to ensure proper fit and performance.
