Vibrant Performance 13052 90 Deg Mandrel Bend 2.75" OD T304 Stainless Steel Univers

Vehicle Fitment

• Universal - compatible with any custom exhaust system, downpipe, intercooler pipe, or intake fabrication requiring a 2.75" O.D. 90° mandrel bend in T304 stainless steel

Fitment Notes

• Universal fitment - not vehicle-specific; designed for use with 2.75" O.D. exhaust or intake tubing in custom fabrication applications
• Slip-fit or butt-weld connection - tube O.D. is 2.75"; verify tubing compatibility before ordering
• Leg Length A (short leg): 4"; Leg Length B (long leg): 12" - confirm available clearance in the intended installation before cutting to final length
• Sold individually as a single 90° bend

Features

• True mandrel bent construction maintains a consistent 2.75" internal diameter throughout the full 90° sweep - no kinking or cross-sectional deformation that would restrict exhaust or airflow
• T304 stainless steel construction provides superior resistance to heat, acid, and corrosion compared to mild steel - essential for sustained high-exhaust-temperature applications
• 0.065" (1.65mm) wall thickness balances structural rigidity with light weight for exhaust and intercooler piping fabrication
• 2.75" centerline radius produces a compact, tight bend suitable for space-constrained routing in custom exhaust and charge air systems
• Suitable for exhaust systems, downpipes, intercooler piping, intake fabrication, and other high-temperature custom plumbing

Product Description

The Vibrant Performance 13052 is a T304 stainless steel 90° mandrel bend at 2.75" O.D., designed for use in custom exhaust systems, downpipes, intercooler piping, and intake fabrication. Mandrel bending maintains a consistent internal diameter throughout the full 90° sweep - unlike crush bending, which deforms the tube cross-section and restricts flow - making this an essential component wherever unrestricted airflow or exhaust gas velocity must be preserved through a directional change. The 2.75" centerline radius produces a compact bend geometry suited to tight routing around chassis and engine bay obstacles.

T304 stainless steel's high chromium and nickel content gives it far superior resistance to heat, acid, and corrosion compared to mild steel, ensuring long service life even in direct contact with exhaust gases. At 0.065" wall thickness, the 13052 is appropriately rigid for structural welded exhaust and charge air applications while remaining lightweight. Leg lengths of 4" and 12" provide ample material for trimming to fit before final welding. Backed by Vibrant's 5-year limited warranty.
