Vibrant 18684 180 Degree Mandrel Bend 1.875" OD x 4" CLR 304 Stainless Steel

The Vibrant Performance 18684 is a precision-engineered 180-degree mandrel bend constructed from high-quality 304 stainless steel. This U-bend features a 1.875-inch outside diameter with a 4-inch centerline radius, making it ideal for custom exhaust fabrication, turbo plumbing, intercooler piping, and other high-performance applications.

Key Features:

• 180-degree mandrel bent design maintains consistent inner diameter throughout the bend for maximum flow
• 1.875" (1-7/8") outside diameter tubing
• 4-inch centerline radius (CLR) provides smooth, gradual bend
• 304 stainless steel construction offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability
• Precision mandrel bending process prevents crimping and flow restriction
• Ideal for exhaust systems, intake piping, turbo applications, and custom fabrication projects

Mandrel bending is superior to crush bending because it maintains the tube's original diameter throughout the curve, eliminating internal restrictions that rob performance. This bend can be easily welded using TIG or MIG welding techniques and is compatible with standard stainless steel fabrication practices.
