Vibrant 13826 180 Degree Mandrel Bend 2.25" O.D. x 3.375" CLR 18 Gauge

The Vibrant Performance 13826 is a precision-engineered 180-degree mandrel bent aluminum tube designed for custom exhaust and intake systems. This U-bend features a 2.25-inch outer diameter with a tight 3.375-inch centerline radius (CLR), making it ideal for applications where space is limited and smooth airflow is critical.

Key Specifications:

• 180-degree mandrel bend configuration
• 2.25" outer diameter (O.D.)
• 3.375" centerline radius (CLR) for compact routing
• 18-gauge wall thickness (.049") for excellent strength-to-weight ratio
• Mandrel bent construction maintains consistent inner diameter throughout the bend
• Constructed from high-quality T6061 aluminum alloy
• Polished finish ready for welding or polishing

Benefits:

• Mandrel bending process eliminates flow restriction and turbulence common in crush-bent tubing
• Tight centerline radius allows for routing in confined engine bays
• 18-gauge thickness provides durability without excessive weight
• Aluminum construction resists corrosion and reduces overall system weight
• Perfect for custom turbo piping, intercooler plumbing, intake systems, and exhaust fabrication

Vibrant Performance mandrel bends are the professional's choice for building high-performance piping systems. The consistent wall thickness and smooth interior ensure maximum flow efficiency, while the precision bending maintains structural integrity. Ideal for automotive, marine, and powersports applications requiring quality fabrication components.
