XForce Mandrel Bend 3" ID, 60 Degree Bend

XForce mandrel-bent tubing gives you the flexibility you need for your custom projects. These individual bends are manufactured from stainless steel to withstand acidic, high-heat, and corrosive conditions. They are available from 15 degree bends to 90 degree bends with diameters ranging from 1 to 3.5 in. XForce mandrel-bent tubing is ideal for creating your own exhaust, headers, downpipes, and intercooler pipes.

As you introduce restrictions to the exhaust, you begin to reduce the scavenging effect because you don’t maintain the same velocity through the system. Mandrel bends are a great advantage over crush bends as the inner diameter of the exhaust pipe constant throughout the system.Mandrel bends maintains the same ID all the way through the bends. Crush bends are just like they sound; the piping is crushed slightly while bending, decreasing the ID of the pipe.
