Product Description

The Vibrant Performance 12196 4.00" 120° Aluminum Tight Radius Bend Pipe is a universal fabrication component engineered for custom and performance automotive applications. This mandrel-bent elbow helps maintain smooth internal airflow, making it ideal for intercooler plumbing, intake piping, turbo systems, and exhaust routing where compact bends are needed. The tight 120° angle and 3.00" centerline radius allow installations in tight or constrained areas of an engine bay or undercarriage.

Constructed from durable 6061 aluminum with a brushed finish, the 12196 bend resists corrosion and mechanical wear while being lightweight. It can be welded into custom tubing assemblies or combined with straight sections and transitions to complete bespoke air, intake, intercooler, or exhaust systems. Because this part is universal and not vehicle-specific, it offers flexibility for custom builds, fabrication projects, and performance installations across a wide range of platforms.
