Vibrant 13840 180 Degree Mandrel Bend 1.50" OD x 2.25" CLR 16 Gauge

The Vibrant Performance 13840 is a precision-engineered 180-degree mandrel bent aluminum tube designed for custom exhaust and intake fabrication. This U-bend features a 1.50-inch outer diameter with a 2.25-inch centerline radius (CLR), providing smooth airflow characteristics essential for high-performance applications.

Key Specifications:

• 180-degree bend angle for complete directional change
• 1.50" outer diameter tubing
• 2.25" centerline radius for optimal flow
• 16-gauge wall thickness (.065") for durability and strength
• Mandrel bent construction maintains consistent inner diameter throughout the bend
• T6061 aluminum construction for corrosion resistance

Mandrel bending ensures the tube maintains its full diameter through the entire bend, eliminating the restrictions and turbulence common with crush-bent tubing. This results in maximum flow efficiency and performance. Ideal for building custom exhaust systems, intercooler piping, intake manifolds, and other performance plumbing applications where precise bends are required.
