Product Description

The Vibrant 2656 3" 180° Mandrel U-Bend is a high-quality stainless steel exhaust fabrication component designed to provide a tight, smooth radius bend with consistent internal diameter throughout the curve - minimizing restriction and turbulence in exhaust gas flow. Built from durable 304 stainless steel with a 16-gauge wall, this bend is robust enough for custom exhaust systems, turbo downpipes, intercooler piping, and other high-performance applications. Its mandrel-bent design preserves internal flow characteristics while the 5" centerline radius makes it ideal for fitting exhaust runs in tight areas such as near subframes or chassis obstacles.

Because this part is **universal** and not tied to any specific vehicle make or model, it can be used in virtually any custom automotive build that requires a 3" tight-radius 180° bend. Its accurate dimensions, weld-ready finish, and corrosion resistance make it a staple in fabrication shops and enthusiast garages alike. Whether you're building a high-flow exhaust, re-routing piping around suspension components, or creating a custom exhaust path for forced induction plumbing, the Vibrant 2656 offers reliable performance and excellent build quality.
