Product Information

Full details

This guide is for automotive enthusiasts, custom builders, and competition teams looking to modify or build exhaust systems. The key benefit is the durable, smooth-flowing construction that ensures longevity and optimal performance. A potential caveat is that professional installation may be required for complex custom applications. The Jetex Exhaust Bend is manufactured from high-quality Swedish steel, available in mild or stainless steel, and features mandrel bending for a smooth internal flow. It includes a flared and slotted end for easy connection to existing pipework and is available in various angles (30, 45, 60, or 90 degrees) and sizes.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material is this exhaust bend made from?

This specific model is constructed from high-quality Swedish stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance. Other variants may be available in mild steel.

What does 'mandrel bent' mean?

Mandrel bending is a process that uses a flexible internal support (a mandrel) to maintain the pipe's original internal diameter and shape during the bending process, preventing flattening or collapsing.

How do I connect this bend to my existing exhaust?

The bend has a flared and slotted end designed for connecting to pipework. It typically requires professional welding to ensure a secure and leak-free joint.

What other angles and sizes are available?

Jetex Exhaust Bends are available in 30, 45, 60, or 90-degree angles and a range of diameters, though this specific product is a 2-inch, 30-degree bend.

Is this suitable for a daily driver or only for performance applications?

While ideal for competition and custom builds due to its performance-enhancing design, its durability also makes it suitable for daily drivers seeking a robust exhaust component.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Installation typically requires welding equipment and expertise. Basic hand tools might be needed for removing the old exhaust section and positioning the new bend.

What is the main advantage of stainless steel over mild steel for exhaust systems?

Stainless steel offers significantly better resistance to rust and corrosion compared to mild steel, leading to a longer lifespan, especially in environments exposed to moisture and road salt.

Troubleshooting

Exhaust leak at connection point

Ensure the connection is properly welded by a professional. Check for any obstructions or damage to the flared end that may prevent a secure fit.

Restricted exhaust flow

Verify that the bend diameter is correct for the system and that no internal obstructions are present. Ensure the mandrel bend was not compromised during installation.

Corrosion on mild steel version

Mild steel may require periodic treatment with high-temperature exhaust paint or ceramic coating for added protection against rust, especially in harsh environments.

Difficulty fitting to existing pipework

Confirm that the pipework diameter precisely matches the 2-inch specification of the Jetex bend. Minor adjustments or the use of a slip-fit connector might be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction from high-quality Swedish steel.
  • Mandrel bending ensures smooth exhaust flow and performance.
  • Easy connection facilitated by flared and slotted end.
  • Wide availability of angles and sizes for custom projects.
  • Suitable for high-performance and specialized applications.

Cons

  • May require professional welding and fitting for optimal integration.
  • Specific angle (30 degrees) might not fit all standard applications.
  • Requires purchase of additional connecting pipes and clamps.
  • Stainless steel option may have a higher initial cost than mild steel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Jetex Exhaust Bend features a flared and slotted end designed for connection to compatible exhaust pipework. It typically requires welding by a qualified professional to ensure a secure and gas-tight seal. Ensure the chosen bend angle and diameter are suitable for your specific exhaust system design and vehicle.

Compatibility: This exhaust bend is compatible with other exhaust components that match its 2-inch diameter and feature a corresponding slip-fit or connection method. It is ideal for use in custom exhaust fabrication for a wide range of vehicles, especially those seeking performance enhancements or bespoke configurations.

Care: To maintain the longevity of the exhaust bend, especially if using mild steel, regular inspection for corrosion is recommended. Stainless steel variants offer superior corrosion resistance. Clean the exterior with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Ensure exhaust hangars and mounts are in good condition to prevent undue stress on the system.
