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

The S/S 2-3/4in 60 Deg Bend with 4-1/8in Radius from Vibrant Performance is a precision stainless steel mandrel bend exhaust tube engineered for custom exhaust fabrication and performance vehicle builds. Whether you're designing a turbo manifold runner, intake tract, or mid-pipe assembly, this bend component delivers the geometric precision required for optimal flow dynamics and clean fitment. Mandrel bends preserve internal diameter consistency throughout the curve—a critical advantage over crush bends that restrict flow and create turbulence. This tube is ideal for fabricators, performance shops, and serious enthusiasts building headers, custom exhausts, or high-flow intake systems where every degree of arc and radius matters to final performance.

Constructed from durable stainless steel, this bend combines corrosion resistance with thermal stability—essential for exhaust environments and underhood applications. The 60-degree bend angle and 4-1/8-inch radius are calculated to minimize flow separation and maintain structural integrity under pressure and vibration. The 2-3/4-inch outer diameter accommodates standard tubing sizes in performance applications, making it compatible with most mandrel bend piping systems. Vibrant Performance's manufacturing process ensures consistent wall thickness and smooth interior surfaces that reduce parasitic drag and improve scavenging efficiency. Weighing 2.44 pounds and measuring 16.65 inches in overall length, this component is compact enough for tight engine bay layouts while providing substantial reach for complex routing.

This bend excels in applications requiring precision routing: turbo intercooler piping, custom intake manifolds, exhaust downpipes, and header primaries on LS, small-block Chevy, and modern turbocharged builds. Fabricators benefit from the consistent radius and angle, which simplifies welding setup and reduces trial-and-error fitting. The stainless construction ensures longevity in high-temperature exhaust service or corrosive environments. Installation requires basic welding capability and proper jig support; ensure all welds are stress-relieved to prevent cracking under thermal cycling. Pair this bend with Vibrant Performance flanges, reducers, and adapters for a complete custom exhaust or intake solution.
