Jetex Exhaust Bend / Pipe / Tube - 2 Inch, 45 Degree, Stainless Steel

A mandrel bend is created using a flexible internal support (a mandrel) that prevents the pipe from collapsing or kinking during the bending process. This maintains a consistent internal diameter, crucial for optimal exhaust flow.

While technically possible with specialized procedures and filler materials, it is generally not recommended for exhaust systems due to the significant difference in corrosion resistance and potential for premature failure at the joint.

MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number, a unique identifier assigned by the manufacturer to a specific product variant.

Mild steel is less expensive but more susceptible to rust and corrosion. Stainless steel offers superior resistance to corrosion and a longer lifespan, making it ideal for demanding or long-term applications, though it is typically more costly.

The degree of the bend (e.g., 45, 90 degrees) is determined by the angle needed to connect two sections of exhaust pipe in your custom layout. Measure the required angle carefully for your specific application.

No, Jetex Exhaust Bends are intended for custom fabrication and modifications. They are not designed as direct, bolt-on replacements for factory exhaust components.

Ensure the flared end is properly seated onto the connecting pipe. Tighten exhaust clamps securely or re-weld the joint if necessary. Check for any damage to the flare or pipe.

Verify that the diameter and angle of the bend precisely match the intended connection points. Minor adjustments may require professional fabrication tools.

Clean the affected area thoroughly. Apply a high-temperature exhaust paint or a suitable anti-corrosion treatment. For severe rust, replacement may be necessary.

Confirm the bend was installed correctly with the flared end oriented for smooth flow into the next section. Ensure no obstructions exist within the pipe.
