S/S 1-5/8in 90 Deg Bend w/ 1-5/8in Radius

The S/S 1-5/8in 90 Deg Bend with 1-5/8in Radius (SKU: VIB13033) is a premium stainless steel exhaust pipe bend engineered for custom automotive exhaust systems and performance vehicle builds. As a mechanic and enthusiast, you'll recognize this as an essential fabrication component for routing exhaust tubing with precision geometry. Whether you're building a full custom exhaust system, turbo plumbing, or intercooler piping, this 90-degree bend provides the smooth radius and material durability required for high-temperature applications and long-term reliability.

Constructed from stainless steel, this bend features a 1-5/8-inch inside diameter tubing with a 1-5/8-inch bend radius—a critical specification that determines flow efficiency and structural integrity. The 90-degree angle and generous radius minimize turbulence and pressure loss compared to sharp bends, which is essential when designing exhaust or intake systems where backpressure and scavenging efficiency directly impact horsepower and throttle response. The 1.625-pound weight and compact 6 x 1.9 x 15.9-inch footprint make it easy to handle during installation, while stainless construction resists corrosion and thermal cycling that would degrade mild steel alternatives.

This component is ideal for fabricators, hot rodders, and performance shops building custom headers, turbocharger piping, or full exhaust systems on engine swaps and modified vehicles. The 1-5/8-inch diameter matches common performance exhaust tubing standards, making it compatible with most aftermarket exhaust kits and custom welding applications. Install it using TIG welding for optimal durability, and ensure proper clocking during assembly to align the bend with your exhaust flow path.
