S/S 2-1/2in 120 Deg Bend w/ 3-1/2in Radius

The S/S 2-1/2in 120 Deg Bend w/ 3-1/2in Radius is a precision mandrel-bent exhaust component engineered for custom exhaust system fabrication and modification. Whether you're building a high-flow exhaust for a street rod, truck, or performance vehicle, this stainless steel bend delivers the precise angle and smooth radius needed to optimize exhaust flow while maintaining structural integrity. This 120-degree bend is an essential component for tuners and fabricators who demand consistent tube geometry and minimal turbulence in their exhaust designs.

Constructed from 16-gauge stainless steel, this mandrel bend maintains uniform wall thickness throughout the curve, preventing the collapse or deformation that occurs with inferior bending methods. The 3.5-inch radius creates a smooth, efficient transition that reduces backpressure and turbulence compared to sharp elbows or poorly formed bends. With 4-inch legs on each side of the bend, the component integrates seamlessly into modular exhaust systems, allowing for easy welding and assembly. The 2.5-inch diameter tubing accommodates a wide range of engine displacement and power levels, from modest street applications to high-horsepower builds, while the stainless steel material resists corrosion and thermal stress, ensuring durability in harsh underhood environments.

Fabricators, custom exhaust shops, and serious DIY mechanics rely on mandrel bends like this to achieve professional-quality results without the labor of hand-bending or the waste of multiple trial pieces. Installation requires basic welding skills and compatibility with 2.5-inch diameter tubing systems; the component works with any vehicle platform using this tube size. At 3.2 lbs, it's lightweight enough for performance-focused builds yet robust enough to handle daily driving abuse. This bend is ideal for mid-pipe sections, crossover pipes, or any transition where a 120-degree change of direction improves routing or flow characteristics.
