Vibrant 13822 180 Degree Mandrel Bend 1.75" O.D. Aluminum Exhaust Tube

The Vibrant Performance 13822 is a precision-engineered 180-degree mandrel bent aluminum tube designed for custom exhaust and intake fabrication. This U-bend features a 1.75-inch outside diameter with a smooth, constant radius throughout the bend, ensuring optimal flow characteristics and minimal turbulence.

Key Specifications:

• Outside Diameter (O.D.): 1.75 inches
• Centerline Radius (CLR): 2.625 inches
• Wall Thickness: 18 gauge (approximately 0.049 inches)
• Bend Angle: 180 degrees (full U-bend)
• Material: T6061 aluminum alloy
• Mandrel bent construction maintains consistent inner diameter throughout the bend

Mandrel bending technology ensures the tube maintains its full internal diameter through the entire curve, unlike crush-bent alternatives that can restrict flow. The 18-gauge wall thickness provides an excellent balance between strength and weight, making this bend ideal for performance exhaust systems, custom intake piping, turbo plumbing, and intercooler routing. The T6061 aluminum construction offers superior corrosion resistance and can be easily welded or polished to achieve a professional finish.
