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

The S/S 2-3/4in 45 Deg Bend w/ 4-1/8in Radius is a premium mandrel-bent exhaust component engineered for builders and mechanics who demand precision fitment and durability in high-performance exhaust systems. This 45-degree exhaust bend serves as a critical transition piece in custom exhaust routing, allowing you to navigate tight engine bays and frame constraints without compromising flow characteristics. Whether you're fabricating a complete custom exhaust system, modifying an existing platform, or restoring a classic vehicle with modern performance upgrades, this stainless steel bend provides the structural integrity and corrosion resistance required for long-term reliability.

Constructed from 16-gauge stainless steel, this component features a precise 4.125-inch radius that minimizes turbulence and maintains optimal exhaust velocity through the bend. The mandrel-bending process ensures consistent wall thickness throughout the 45-degree angle, preventing the collapse or crimping that can occur with tube-bending methods and reducing backpressure in the exhaust stream. With a 2.75-inch diameter and 6-inch legs on each side, this bend accommodates standard mid-size exhaust piping while providing adequate stub length for secure welding and integration into larger exhaust assemblies. The stainless steel construction resists rust, thermal degradation, and chemical corrosion from road salt and exhaust condensation—critical for systems exposed to harsh environments.

This exhaust bend is ideal for fabricators, performance shops, and experienced DIY builders constructing custom exhaust systems for street, race, or restoration applications. The mandrel-bent design makes it compatible with any 2.75-inch diameter exhaust piping and works seamlessly in custom headers, mid-pipe assemblies, and turbo discharge piping layouts. Installation requires welding expertise and proper fixture support to ensure accurate positioning during assembly. At 2.24 lbs, the component is lightweight enough for high-performance builds while maintaining the structural rigidity needed for long-term durability under thermal and vibrational stress.
