This 2.5 inch 180 degree mandrel bend exhaust elbow is manufactured from durable aluminized steel and features a 2.5 inch outside diameter inlet and 2.5 inch outside diameter outlet, making it ideal for slip fit fabrication applications. The full 180 degree bend is mandrel formed to maintain consistent diameter throughout the curve, preventing restriction and helping preserve proper exhaust flow compared to traditional crush bent tubing. Constructed from high quality aluminized steel, this elbow offers excellent corrosion resistance and long lasting durability while remaining a cost effective alternative to stainless steel for daily drivers, work trucks, and performance builds. This universal exhaust component is perfect for custom exhaust fabrication, turbo projects, diesel applications, over axle routing, tight radius turns, and general exhaust repair work. Professional installation and welding are recommended, as cutting or modification may be required depending on your specific setup. Whether you are building a full custom system or replacing a section of existing tubing, this 2.5 inch 180 degree aluminized mandrel bend provides strength, proper fitment, and reliable performance for a wide range of exhaust applications.
