Vibrant 18383 180 Degree Mandrel Bend 1.75" OD 304 Stainless Steel Tubing

The Vibrant Performance 18383 is a premium 180-degree mandrel bent tube constructed from high-quality 304 stainless steel. This U-bend features a 1.75-inch outer diameter with a 3.5-inch centerline radius (CLR), making it ideal for custom exhaust fabrication, turbo plumbing, and intercooler piping applications.

Key Features:

• True mandrel bent construction maintains consistent inner diameter throughout the bend for maximum flow
• 304 stainless steel material provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability
• 1.75-inch outer diameter tubing
• 3.5-inch centerline radius for smooth directional transitions
• 180-degree bend angle creates a complete U-turn
• Precision bent for easy welding and professional results

Mandrel bending is superior to crush bending because it prevents tube collapse and flow restriction at the bend points. This ensures optimal exhaust flow and performance in high-performance automotive and motorsport applications. The 304 stainless steel construction offers long-lasting durability and is suitable for both street and race applications.
