Vibrant Performance 12180 90-Degree Tight-Radius Aluminum Tubing Bend, 2.5-Inch Diameter

The Vibrant Performance 12180 90-degree tight-radius aluminum tubing bend is designed for building clean, efficient custom exhaust, intake, intercooler, and fabrication systems. Manufactured from lightweight aluminum, this mandrel-bent elbow maintains a consistent internal diameter through the bend to support smooth airflow and reliable system performance. The polished finish provides a clean appearance while helping the component integrate neatly into professional and enthusiast-level projects.
The 2.5-inch outside diameter is compatible with many common automotive tubing and piping applications. Its tight 1.75-inch centerline radius helps conserve installation space and allows tubing to be routed around engine components, chassis structures, and other clearance-sensitive areas. The 90-degree angle and included straight legs provide practical connection points for cutting, positioning, welding, or fabrication during custom installation.
Built with 2 mm wall thickness aluminum, the Vibrant Performance 12180 offers a balance of low weight, durability, and fabrication flexibility. It is suitable for TIG welding and other compatible joining methods when properly prepared by the installer. Use this bend with matching tubing, couplers, clamps, or welded fittings to create a customized system tailored to the vehicle or equipment application. Each bend is sold individually and is intended for installation by users familiar with measuring, cutting, welding, and tubing assembly.
