U-Bend Mild Steel 2.500 x 6in Radius 16 Gauge

The U-Bend Mild Steel 2.500 x 6in Radius 16 Gauge is a precision mandrel-bent exhaust component designed for custom exhaust applications. This curved pipe section is essential for builders and mechanics creating tight-radius exhaust routing, particularly in engine bays where space constraints demand smooth, efficient bends that maintain flow characteristics.

Constructed from mild steel with a 16-gauge wall thickness, the U-Bend features a precise 6-inch radius bend that maintains structural integrity and minimizes turbulence. The 2.500-inch diameter accommodates moderate to high-flow exhaust applications without excessive backpressure, making it compatible with naturally aspirated and moderately boosted engine platforms. The mandrel-bending process ensures the inner wall maintains consistent thickness throughout the bend, preventing collapse and kinking.

Fabricators will appreciate the mild steel construction, which allows for straightforward TIG or MIG welding integration into larger exhaust assemblies. The material finishes cleanly for ceramic coating or polishing applications if desired. This U-Bend is ideal for those upgrading street machines, competition vehicles, or restoring classics with modern exhaust performance.
