Vibrant 2628 2.5in T304 Stainless Tight Radius 180-Degree U-Bend

Vehicle Fitment

• Universal - not vehicle-specific; used for building custom exhaust systems, headers, downpipes, and intercooler piping

Fitment Notes

• Welding required for installation into a custom exhaust or piping assembly.

Features

• Tight-radius mandrel bend ideal for the most space-constrained fabrication projects
• Full 180-degree bend reverses tubing direction in a single piece
• T304 stainless steel resists acidic, high-heat, and corrosive exhaust conditions far better than mild steel
• Non-magnetic alloy with high chromium and nickel content for long-term durability
• Dimensionally consistent tubing requires minimal prep before welding

Product Description

Some fabrication layouts need a full direction reversal in a tight space that a standard 90-degree bend just can't accomplish without stacking multiple sections. The Vibrant 2628 is purpose-built for exactly that - a true 180-degree U-bend with a tight 3.5" centerline radius, letting fabricators route exhaust or piping back on itself without eating up extra room in a crowded engine bay or chassis.

Built from T304 stainless steel, it holds up to the acidic, high-heat, and corrosive conditions found in exhaust systems far longer than mild steel alternatives, and the consistent 16-gauge wall thickness means less prep time before welding. With 6" legs on each end, it's a standard building block for custom exhaust, headers, downpipes, and intercooler piping where a compact U-turn is exactly what the project calls for.
