Vibrant Performance 2628 Stainless Steel 2.5-Inch Mandrel U-Bend Exhaust Elbow

Build a smooth, efficient custom exhaust system with the Vibrant Performance 2628 stainless steel U-bend. Designed as a 180-degree exhaust bend, this mandrel-bent component maintains a consistent inside diameter through the curve to help support improved exhaust flow and simplify custom pipe routing. It is an excellent choice for performance vehicles, fabrication projects, and replacement exhaust applications requiring a durable stainless steel bend.
The 2.5-inch tube diameter works with compatible exhaust tubing and components, while the 3.5-inch centerline radius provides a practical balance between compact routing and smooth bends. The straight legs offer flexibility for cutting and positioning during fabrication, allowing you to create the exact exhaust configuration your project requires. Each bend is formed from 16-gauge stainless steel for strength, corrosion resistance, and reliable performance in demanding under-vehicle environments.
The Vibrant Performance 2628 is supplied as one U-bend and is suitable for welding into a custom exhaust system. Its mandrel-bent construction helps minimize flow restriction commonly associated with crushed or sharply formed tubing. Whether you are fabricating a turbocharger exhaust, intercooler piping transition, or performance exhaust system, this stainless steel 180-degree bend provides a clean foundation for precise installation and long-term durability.
