Vibrant 2890 Polished 6061 Aluminum 45-Degree Mandrel Bend 3.5 in. OD Universal

Vehicle Fitment

• Universal - No vehicle-specific fitment. Compatible with any custom intercooler piping, air intake, or charge air plumbing application requiring a 45-degree mandrel bend in 3.5 in. O.D. aluminum tubing.

Fitment Notes

• Tube O.D. is 3.50 in. Confirm that your tubing O.D. matches before ordering.
• Centerline radius (CLR): 4.50 in. Leg length: 5.50 in. on each side.
• Mirror-polished finish - suitable for show-quality engine bay builds. Can be clear-coated to maintain finish.
• Compatible with Vibrant silicone couplers and T-bolt clamps in 3.5 in. I.D. sizing.
• Available in a full range of O.D. sizes and bend angles across Vibrant's polished aluminum tubing program.

Features

• T6061 aluminum construction - lightweight, strong, and weldable for custom fabrication
• Mirror-polished finish delivers a premium show-quality appearance in intercooler and intake builds
• Mandrel-bent construction maintains consistent tube O.D. through the full 45-degree arc - no pinching or flow restriction at the bend
• 45-degree bend angle provides a gentle routing change - ideal for gradual direction changes in intercooler piping and air intake systems
• 1.5mm wall thickness provides the right balance of strength and weldability
• 5.50 in. leg lengths on each side provide ample straight section for clean butt-welds and layout adjustments
• Easy to weld with standard aluminum MIG or TIG equipment and 4043 or 5356 filler wire

Product Description

The Vibrant 2890 is a mirror-polished T6061 aluminum 45-degree mandrel bend in 3.5 in. outside diameter for custom intercooler piping, air intake fabrication, and large-bore charge air plumbing. The mandrel-bent construction maintains consistent tube diameter through the full 45-degree arc - preventing the wall thinning and flow restriction that occur with conventional press-bent tubing. The 45-degree bend angle provides a gentler routing change than a 90-degree elbow, making it ideal for gradual direction transitions in intercooler plumbing where space allows a more gradual turn.

The mirror-polished finish delivers a premium show-quality appearance well suited for visible intercooler and intake builds. T6061 aluminum accepts standard MIG or TIG welding with 4043 or 5356 filler wire and requires minimal surface preparation for fabrication. The 5.50 in. leg lengths on each side provide ample material for clean butt-welds and allow fabricators to trim to the required length as needed. Part of Vibrant's comprehensive polished aluminum tubing program available across a wide range of tube O.D. sizes and bend angles. Sold individually.
