Product Description

The Vibrant Performance 13189 3" Oval 45° Mandrel Stainless Steel Exhaust Bend is a universal fabrication component designed to help builders create smooth flowing custom exhaust systems, headers, downpipes, or intercooler piping. Its mandrel-bent curve maintains a consistent internal diameter through the bend, which minimizes airflow restriction and turbulence - a significant benefit for high-flow performance applications. The raw 304 stainless steel construction with a 16-gauge wall thickness ensures strong resistance to heat and corrosion while still being easy to weld and integrate into custom builds.

With a nominal 3" oval size and approximately equal ~6" leg lengths, the 13189 bend provides versatile routing in tight engine bay or undercarriage spaces and facilitates clean, precise fabrication. Its universal nature means it's not tied to a specific make, model, or year, making it suitable for a wide range of automotive performance, custom, and motorsport applications. Whether you're fabricating an aftermarket exhaust, turbo or intercooler charge pipe, this mandrel bend adds strength and flow-friendly geometry to your project.
