Vibrant 18626 120 Degree Mandrel Bend 1.875" OD 6" CLR Aluminum

The Vibrant Performance 18626 is a precision-engineered 120-degree mandrel bent aluminum tube designed for custom exhaust and intake fabrication. This high-quality tubing features a smooth 1.875-inch outer diameter with a 6-inch centerline radius, providing optimal flow characteristics for performance applications.

Key Features:

• 120-degree bend angle for versatile routing options
• 1.875" (1-7/8") outer diameter tubing
• 6-inch centerline radius (CLR) for smooth, consistent bends
• Mandrel bent construction maintains constant inner diameter throughout the bend
• T6061 aluminum alloy construction for strength and corrosion resistance
• Lightweight design reduces overall system weight
• Smooth interior walls minimize turbulence and maximize flow

Mandrel bending is superior to crush bending because it maintains the full inner diameter throughout the curve, eliminating restrictions and pressure drops. This tube section is ideal for building custom exhaust systems, cold air intakes, intercooler piping, and turbo plumbing where precise angles and maximum flow are critical. The 6-inch centerline radius provides a gradual bend that's tight enough for compact installations while maintaining excellent flow characteristics.
