Vibrant Performance 1.75″ OD 180° Mandrel Bent 304 Stainless Steel Tubing

Precision-engineered 180-degree mandrel bend designed for custom exhaust, header, and induction fabrication in high-performance motorsport applications.

Overview

The Vibrant Performance 2699 180-degree mandrel-bent tube is crafted from high-grade 16-gauge (1.65 mm wall thickness) 304 stainless steel. Perfect for tight engine bay packaging, custom exhaust manifolds, downpipes, and cross-over pipes, this U-bend ensures uniform wall thickness and smooth internal airflow throughout the bend. Designed for professional fabricators and motorsport builders, it provides exceptional resistance to extreme heat, oxidation, and atmospheric corrosion while requiring minimal surface preparation prior to TIG welding.

Key Features

  • ☑ High-grade 304 stainless steel construction for maximum corrosion resistance and durability
  • ☑ Smooth 180-degree mandrel bend ensures uninterrupted exhaust flow and reduced backpressure
  • ☑ Consistent 16-gauge (1.65 mm / 0.065″) wall thickness for reliable, high-strength TIG welding
  • ☑ Precise 1.75″ (44.45 mm) outer diameter with 2.125″ centerline radius
  • ☑ Dual 4.0″ (101.6 mm) leg lengths provide flexibility for custom trimming and fitment
