Description

Part Number: 13862

Vibrant Performance 1.75″ OD 90° 321 Stainless Steel Mandrel Bend Pipe

Engineered for extreme high-temperature motorsport applications, this Vibrant Performance 321 stainless steel mandrel bend provides smooth, unrestricted exhaust flow for custom turbo headers, downpipes, and manifolds.

Key Product Features

  • Premium 321 Stainless Steel: Superior resistance to high thermal stress (800°F to 1500°F) and cracking compared to standard 304 stainless steel.
  • Precision Mandrel Bent: Maintains uniform 1.75″ outer diameter throughout the 90-degree curve without crimping or restricting flow.
  • 18 Gauge Wall Thickness: Features a 0.049″ (1.24mm) wall thickness designed for optimum structural integrity and weldability.
  • 6-Inch Tangent Legs: Generous leg lengths from tangent points allow easy fitting, trimming, and clean TIG welding.
  • High-Performance Application: Recommended for forced induction systems, custom exhaust manifolds, and extreme-duty race builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

321 stainless steel is alloyed with titanium to withstand sustained elevated temperatures between 800°F and 1500°F (427°C – 816°C). It offers superior resistance to intergranular corrosion and thermal stress fractures compared to 304 stainless steel, making part 13862 ideal for forced-induction manifolds and high-heat turbo downpipes.

This 90-degree bend features a 1.75-inch (44.4mm) outer diameter, a 2.625-inch (66.7mm) centerline radius (CLR), 6-inch straight leg tangents measured from the bend point, and an 18-gauge wall thickness (0.049 inches / 1.24mm).

For optimal weld strength and corrosion resistance at high temperatures, TIG welding with 347 filler rod is recommended when joining 321 stainless steel, though 308L filler rod can also be used for standard stainless exhaust applications.
