S/S 2-1/4in 60 Deg Bend w/ 3-3/8in Radius

The S/S 2-1/4in 60 Deg Bend with 3-3/8in Radius from VIBRANT PERFORMANCE is a precision stainless steel exhaust tubing elbow engineered for custom exhaust system fabrication and modification work. This mandrel-bent component is essential for builders seeking smooth, efficient flow pathways through tight engine bay configurations or complex routing scenarios. Whether you're building a high-performance turbo manifold assembly, designing a custom cat-back system, or routing exhaust around obstacle components, this bend provides the critical directional change needed without compromising velocity or creating turbulent flow zones.

Constructed from mandrel-bent stainless steel, this 60-degree bend maintains consistent wall thickness throughout the radius, preventing the collapse or thinning that occurs with less expensive tube-bending methods. The 3-3/8-inch radius specification represents the centerline arc of the bend, allowing precise calculation of system length and header flange positioning during design and fabrication. The 2-1/4-inch diameter accommodates mid-range displacement engines and turbo applications while delivering optimal scavenging characteristics. VIBRANT PERFORMANCE's mandrel-bending process ensures minimal internal turbulence and maximum exhaust velocity, which translates directly to horsepower gains and improved throttle response in dyno-tested applications.

Professional fabricators and experienced shade-tree mechanics alike rely on this component for custom manifold assembly, intercooler piping, and primary header construction across diverse platforms—from LS-swap projects to turbocharged four-cylinder builds. The 1.7-pound weight and compact 7.75 x 14.25-inch footprint make this bend manageable during welding and fitment stages. Welding-ready stainless construction accepts both TIG and MIG processes, ensuring compatibility with modern fabrication shops and home setups equipped with proper shielding gas. Order this bend individually for custom one-off work or buy multiples for complete exhaust systems requiring multiple directional changes.
