Vibrant Performance 13042 Stainless Steel 3-Inch 90-Degree Mandrel Exhaust Bend

The Vibrant Performance 13042 exhaust bend provides a smooth 90-degree turn for custom exhaust fabrication, tubing transitions, and performance vehicle applications. Constructed from stainless steel, this bend offers durable corrosion resistance and a clean appearance suitable for both street and competition builds. Its mandrel-formed design helps maintain consistent tubing flow through the curve while reducing the restriction commonly associated with crush-bent tubing.
The 3-inch tubing diameter and 5-inch bend radius make this exhaust elbow a practical choice for building efficient exhaust systems, turbocharger piping, intercooler plumbing, and other custom tubing assemblies. The extended legs provide added flexibility during positioning and welding, allowing fabricators to create accurate layouts with fewer joints and connections. The 16-gauge wall construction delivers a balance of strength, durability, and workability for professional and enthusiast fabrication projects.
Designed for weld-in installation, the Vibrant Performance 13042 bend can be combined with straight tubing, reducers, muffler components, flanges, and other compatible exhaust parts. Its polished stainless construction complements high-quality custom exhaust systems while helping withstand heat, moisture, and demanding under-vehicle conditions. This component is supplied individually and is intended for applications requiring a reliable, smooth-flowing 90-degree bend.
