Vibrant 18226 120 Degree Mandrel Bend 1.625" OD x 6" CLR 304 Stainless Steel

The Vibrant Performance 18226 is a precision-engineered 120-degree mandrel bent tube designed for custom exhaust and intake systems. Constructed from high-quality 304 stainless steel, this mandrel bend features a 1.625-inch outside diameter and a 6-inch centerline radius for smooth, unrestricted flow.

Key Features:

• 120-degree bend angle for versatile routing configurations
• 1.625" (1-5/8") outside diameter tubing
• 6-inch centerline radius (CLR) for optimal flow characteristics
• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Mandrel bent to maintain consistent inner diameter throughout the bend
• TIG welded construction for clean, professional appearance

Mandrel bending ensures the tube maintains its full diameter through the curve, eliminating restrictions and turbulence that can occur with crush-bent alternatives. This results in improved exhaust flow, reduced backpressure, and better performance. Ideal for custom fabrication projects including exhaust systems, turbo installations, intercooler piping, and intake manifolds.
