S/S 2-1/4in 45 Deg Bend w/ 3-3/8in Radius

The S/S 2-1/4in 45 Deg Bend w/ 3-3/8in Radius is a precision mandrel exhaust bend engineered for custom exhaust system fabrication and restoration projects. This component serves builders, fabricators, and automotive enthusiasts who demand smooth, efficient exhaust flow without kinks or deformation that can restrict performance. The 45-degree angle with a generous 3.375-inch radius allows for optimal clearance around engine bays and suspension components while maintaining structural integrity under high-temperature cycles.

Manufactured from 16-gauge stainless steel, this mandrel bend resists corrosion and thermal degradation far better than carbon steel alternatives, ensuring years of reliable service in both street and performance applications. The mandrel construction—not a simple crush bend—preserves the 2.25-inch inner diameter throughout the curve, preventing the wall collapse that compromises exhaust scavenging and backpressure characteristics. With 6 x 6-inch straight legs on either end, the bend integrates seamlessly into modular exhaust systems and accepts standard clamps, flanges, or welded connections.

This exhaust bend is ideal for builders constructing custom systems for trucks, muscle cars, hot rods, and performance vehicles where factory routing is unavailable or undesirable. Its compact 16-inch overall length and lightweight 1.7-pound design minimize installation complexity while the stainless material withstands both street driving and high-RPM engine operation. Whether used as a turbocharger downpipe section, mid-pipe transition, or exhaust reroute, the smooth radius and mandrel quality ensure professional results on the first installation.
