Vibrant 13848 180 Degree Mandrel Bend 2.50" OD x 3.75" CLR 16 Gauge

The Vibrant Performance 13848 is a precision-engineered 180-degree mandrel bent aluminum tube designed for custom exhaust and intake fabrication. This high-quality bend features a 2.50-inch outside diameter with a 3.75-inch centerline radius (CLR), providing smooth, unrestricted airflow for optimal performance.

Key Specifications:

• 180-degree mandrel bend configuration for maximum flow efficiency
• 2.50" outside diameter (O.D.) tubing
• 3.75" centerline radius (CLR) for tight routing applications
• 16-gauge wall thickness (.065") for strength and durability
• Constructed from high-quality T-6061 aluminum alloy
• Precision mandrel bent to maintain consistent inner diameter throughout the bend
• Polished finish for professional appearance

Mandrel bending ensures the tube maintains its full inner diameter through the curve, eliminating the restrictions and turbulence common with crush-bent tubing. This bend is ideal for fabricating custom exhaust systems, turbo installations, intercooler piping, and intake systems where space is limited and maximum flow is critical. The aluminum construction provides excellent corrosion resistance while keeping weight to a minimum.
