Vibrant 18222 120 Degree Mandrel Bend 1.625" OD x 2" CLR

The Vibrant Performance 18222 is a precision-engineered 120-degree mandrel bent aluminum tube designed for custom exhaust and intake fabrication. This bend features a 1.625-inch outside diameter with a tight 2-inch centerline radius, making it ideal for routing piping in confined spaces where sharp angles are required.

Key Features:

• 120-degree bend angle for routing around obstacles
• 1.625" (1-5/8") outside diameter tubing
• 2" centerline radius (CLR) for compact installations
• Mandrel bent construction maintains consistent inner diameter throughout the bend
• Smooth interior walls maximize airflow and reduce turbulence
• T6061 aluminum construction for strength and corrosion resistance
• Ideal for custom exhaust systems, turbo piping, intercooler plumbing, and intake fabrication

Mandrel bending ensures the tube walls don't collapse or crimp during the bending process, providing superior flow characteristics compared to crush-bent alternatives. This bend can be welded using TIG welding techniques and is compatible with standard aluminum welding procedures.
