90 Degree Mandrel Bend 2.25in O.D. 18 Gauge SS

The Vibrant Performance 90 Degree Mandrel Bend 2.25in O.D. 18 Gauge Stainless Steel exhaust component is engineered for precision exhaust system fabrication and modification. This mandrel bend maintains consistent wall thickness throughout the curve, preventing the collapse or kinking that occurs with traditional bending methods. The 90-degree angle and 3.375-inch radius provide smooth flow transitions critical for optimal exhaust scavenging and reduced backpressure in custom exhaust systems.

Constructed from 18 gauge stainless steel, this bend offers superior corrosion resistance compared to mild steel alternatives, extending system longevity in harsh environments including salt-air and high-moisture conditions. The 2.25-inch outer diameter fits standard mid-size exhaust piping applications common in street performance and custom exhaust work. Six-inch legs on each side provide adequate material for welding, clamping, or coupling integration into larger exhaust assemblies. Mandrel-bent construction ensures flow characteristics equivalent to seamless tube bends, a specification detail that directly impacts engine performance and fuel efficiency metrics.

This component is ideal for fabricators, performance shops, and enthusiasts building custom exhaust systems for street vehicles, hot rods, and modified engines where precise tube routing and optimal gas flow are essential. Vibrant Performance's reputation in the exhaust systems market reflects their focus on OEM-quality mandrel bends that meet the demands of both professional builders and serious DIY fabricators. Individual units are sold as singles, allowing builders to source exactly the quantity needed for their specific exhaust configuration.
