Vibrant 13824 180 Degree Mandrel Bend 2 Inch O.D. 3 Inch CLR 18 Gauge

The Vibrant 13824 is a precision-engineered 180-degree mandrel bent aluminum tube designed for high-performance exhaust and intake systems. This U-bend features a smooth, constant radius construction that maintains consistent inner diameter throughout the bend, eliminating restrictions and turbulence for optimal flow characteristics.

Key Specifications:

• Outside Diameter (O.D.): 2.00 inches
• Centerline Radius (CLR): 3.00 inches
• Wall Thickness: 18 gauge (0.049 inches nominal)
• Bend Angle: 180 degrees (U-bend)
• Material: T-6061 aluminum alloy
• Mandrel bent construction prevents tube collapse and maintains smooth interior

Features & Benefits:

• Mandrel bending process ensures consistent wall thickness and eliminates tube crimping
• TIG-welded construction for strength and durability
• Smooth interior surface maximizes flow efficiency
• High-quality aluminum resists corrosion and withstands high temperatures
• Precision bent to tight tolerances for easier fitting and alignment
• Ideal for custom exhaust fabrication, turbo plumbing, intercooler piping, and intake systems

This mandrel bend is perfect for automotive, motorcycle, marine, and motorsports applications where performance and quality are critical. The 3-inch centerline radius provides a compact bend that fits tight spaces while maintaining excellent flow characteristics.
