• 180 Degree Mandrel Bend

The Vibrant 321 Stainless Steel 180 Degree Mandrel Bend is designed for high-performance automotive exhaust applications, offering superior durability and heat resistance. Crafted from 321 Stainless Steel, this mandrel bend performs better than standard 304 Stainless Steel at prolonged, elevated operating temperatures ranging from 800°F to 1500°F (427°C to 816°C), making it ideal for forced induction systems and other high-heat environments. Its superior corrosion resistance ensures long-term stability even under harsh conditions, while its ability to withstand tensile stress and stress fractures provides added reliability for demanding applications. This mandrel bend features a 2-inch outer diameter, a 3-inch centerline radius, and a 0.065-inch tube wall thickness with a 16-gauge wall, ensuring precise fitment and optimal flow characteristics for performance exhaust systems. The 180-degree design allows for smooth directional changes, reducing turbulence and enhancing exhaust flow efficiency. Constructed with mandrel bending technology, this component maintains consistent tube diameter throughout the bend, minimizing flow restrictions and maximizing performance. Whether upgrading an existing exhaust system or building a custom setup, this Vibrant mandrel bend provides a durable, high-quality solution for automotive enthusiasts seeking reliable, high-temperature performance components.
