S/S 3in 60 Deg Bend w/ 5in Radius

The S/S 3in 60 Deg Bend w/ 5in Radius from Vibrant Performance is a precision exhaust pipe elbow designed for high-performance exhaust systems and custom vehicle builds. This stainless steel component allows you to route exhaust tubing around tight engine bays and chassis obstacles while maintaining smooth flow characteristics. Whether you're fabricating a complete custom exhaust system, upgrading a turbo setup, or adapting headers to non-standard layouts, this 60-degree bend with a 5-inch radius offers the flexibility and durability required for serious modifications.

Constructed from mandrel-bent stainless steel, the S/S 3in 60 Deg Bend w/ 5in Radius minimizes turbulence and restriction compared to crushed or welded elbows. The 60-degree angle combined with the 5-inch radius bend ensures smooth exhaust gas transitions, reducing backpressure and maintaining scavenging efficiency across the RPM range. The mandrel bending process keeps the tube wall thickness consistent throughout the bend, preventing collapse and extending component longevity. At 2.85 pounds, this elbow is lightweight yet robust—ideal for weight-conscious builds and daily drivers alike. The 3-inch diameter accommodates mid-sized performance exhaust systems commonly found on four- and six-cylinder engine modifications.

Fabricators, tuners, and DIY enthusiasts benefit most from this versatile component when custom-routing exhaust in tight engine compartments or transitioning between different chassis configurations. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and thermal cycling, ensuring long service life in aggressive street and motorsport applications. Installation requires basic welding or clamp-based connections (sold separately), making it compatible with both slip-fit and flanged exhaust systems. This elbow pairs seamlessly with turbocharger downpipes, resonator tuning, and header-to-cat conversions where standard bends don't fit your build geometry.
