Vibrant 18286 180 Degree Mandrel Bend 1.625" OD Aluminum Tubing

The Vibrant Performance 18286 is a precision-engineered 180-degree mandrel bent aluminum tube designed for high-performance exhaust and intake systems. This U-bend features a 1.625" outer diameter with a 6" centerline radius (CLR), providing smooth airflow with minimal restriction.

Key Features:

• Mandrel bent construction maintains consistent inner diameter throughout the bend for optimal flow
• 1.625" (1-5/8") outer diameter tubing
• 6" centerline radius for compact routing in tight spaces
• 180-degree bend angle creates a tight U-shape
• Constructed from high-quality T6061 aluminum alloy
• Ideal for custom exhaust fabrication, intercooler piping, and intake systems

Vibrant Performance mandrel bends are manufactured using precision tooling to ensure uniform wall thickness and consistent diameter, eliminating the restrictions and weak points common with crush-bent tubing. This bend is perfect for fabricators building custom exhaust systems, turbo kits, or any application requiring smooth, efficient airflow routing.
