Vibrant Performance 2868 2.75-Inch Aluminum 180-Degree U-Bend Mandrel Tube, Polished

The Vibrant Performance 2868 aluminum U-bend tube is designed for custom intake, intercooler, exhaust, and fluid-routing applications that require a smooth 180-degree turn. Manufactured with mandrel-bent aluminum tubing, this U-bend helps maintain consistent flow and provides a clean foundation for fabrication, modification, and high-performance plumbing systems. Its polished finish delivers a professional appearance while allowing the tube to complement a wide range of custom builds.
The 2.75-inch outside diameter is suitable for systems using compatible couplers, clamps, and tubing components. The 4-1/8-inch bend radius and 3-1/2-inch legs provide useful material for positioning and trimming during installation, making it easier to create a precise fit around engine bays, chassis components, and other space-limited areas. The aluminum construction offers a practical combination of low weight, corrosion resistance, and fabrication-friendly performance.
Whether used as a replacement section or as part of a fully custom system, the Vibrant Performance 2868 U-bend provides dependable geometry and a polished finish for professional or enthusiast applications. It is supplied as one U-bend tube and is intended for fabrication where cutting, welding, or coupling may be required. Verify tubing diameter, bend clearance, and system requirements before installation.
