Product Description

The Vibrant Performance 13040 is a 90-degree mandrel bent tube section crafted from T304 stainless steel at the widely used 2.500 in. O.D. diameter. With a 3.500 in. centerline radius and 16-gauge (0.065 in.) wall thickness, this bend maintains consistent internal diameter through the curve - eliminating the flow restriction and turbulence associated with crush-bent tubing. The result is improved exhaust scavenging, reduced backpressure, and better boost efficiency in forced induction applications.

T304 stainless steel provides exceptional resistance to heat, corrosion, and acidic exhaust gases, making the 13040 suitable for both street and race fabrication builds. The consistent dimensions and raw finish require minimal preparation before welding and integrate seamlessly with Vibrant's complete range of mandrel bend tubing. Sold individually and backed by a 5-Year Limited Warranty.
