Product Information
Full details
This guide is for automotive enthusiasts, fabricators, and DIY mechanics looking to customize or repair exhaust systems. The key benefit is the versatile 75-degree pressed bend, allowing for intricate custom routing and system modifications, improving both aesthetics and sound. A caveat is that this is a raw component requiring welding and fitting expertise. It's a high-quality, mild steel exhaust elbow designed for various vehicular applications, including bespoke projects, kit cars, and performance upgrades.

FAQs
What material is this exhaust bend made from?
The exhaust pipe bend is manufactured from mild steel (CR-v steel construction) for strength and durability.
What are the exact dimensions of the pipe?
The internal diameter is 41.5mm (1.75 inches), the external diameter is 44.5mm, and the wall thickness is 1.5mm. The straight leg length is 230mm, and the total length is 460mm.
Can this be used for air intake systems?
Yes, the product information states it is suitable for air intake systems, intercooler pipes, water pipes, and exhaust systems.
Does this come with clamps or other mounting hardware?
No, this listing is for one bent pipe with a pressed bend. It is designed for welding, and no additional hardware is included.
How do I clean and maintain the mild steel?
Clean with a damp cloth. To prevent rust, apply a high-temperature exhaust coating or paint after installation and initial use.
What is the angle of the bend?
The bend is 75 degrees from a straight line.
Is this a mandrel bend or a pressed bend?
This is a pressed bend, as indicated in the product description.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty welding to existing exhaust
Ensure both surfaces are clean and free from rust, oil, and old coatings. Use appropriate welding rods/wire for mild steel and set correct amperage/voltage for the material thickness.
Incorrect fitment or alignment
Re-measure and re-cut the existing pipes. Consider using a slip-fit connector or a flexible exhaust section if minor discrepancies exist. Ensure the 75-degree angle is correctly oriented before final welding.
Poor exhaust flow after installation
Verify that the bend was installed in the optimal direction to maintain smooth airflow. Check for any internal obstructions or kinks created during the fitting process.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable mild steel construction for longevity.
- Easy to weld and integrate into existing systems.
- Precisely formed 75-degree bend for specific routing challenges.
- Versatile for various automotive pipework applications.
- Improves custom build aesthetics and exhaust sound.
- Ready-to-use with deburred ends.
Cons
- Requires professional welding and fabrication skills for installation.
- Sold as a single component; additional fittings may be needed.
- Mild steel may be susceptible to rust over extended periods if not properly treated or coated.
- Specific 75-degree angle might not suit all custom configurations.
- No included mounting hardware or exhaust sealant.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This exhaust pipe bend is a raw component designed for custom fabrication. Installation requires cutting, fitting, and welding to your existing or new exhaust system. Ensure the 1.75-inch (41.5mm internal diameter) fits your target application. The 75-degree angle should be assessed for clearance and flow direction before welding.
Compatibility: Primarily compatible with mild steel exhaust tubing of corresponding dimensions (1.75-inch internal diameter, 44.5mm external diameter, 1.5mm wall thickness). It can be used in conjunction with other exhaust components, mufflers, and catalytic converters, provided they are of compatible size and material for welding.
Care: As it is made of mild steel, regular inspection for corrosion is recommended, especially in areas exposed to road salt or moisture. Apply a high-temperature exhaust coating or paint after installation and initial heat cycling to protect against rust and enhance durability. Clean with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage any protective coating.
