Vibrant Performance 2873 2.5-Inch Aluminum 90-Degree Tight-Radius Mandrel Bend

The Vibrant Performance 2873 aluminum tubing bend provides a precise 90-degree turn for custom exhaust, intake, intercooler, and fabrication projects. Designed with a tight-radius mandrel bend, this elbow helps maintain a smooth internal transition while supporting efficient airflow through the tubing system. Its 2.5-inch outside diameter is suited for applications requiring dependable fitment and clean routing in confined spaces.
Constructed from lightweight aluminum, the Vibrant Performance 2873 features a natural finish and durable 0.125-inch wall thickness for reliable performance in demanding automotive and fabrication environments. The bend includes short straight legs on each end, giving installers additional material for trimming, welding, or connecting to other components. The mandrel-forming process helps reduce restriction and distortion compared with conventional crush-bent tubing.
This 90-degree aluminum elbow is supplied as an individual component and is suitable for builders, performance enthusiasts, and professional fabricators. Use it to create custom piping assemblies with consistent geometry and a clean appearance. Always verify tubing diameter, bend radius, available clearance, and joining method before installation to ensure compatibility with the intended system.
