This guide is for automotive enthusiasts, custom builders, and competition teams looking for durable and precisely shaped exhaust components. The Jetex Tight 90 Degree Exhaust Bend offers a space-saving solution with its sharp 90-degree angle, manufactured from high-quality Swedish steel for longevity. A potential consideration is that the tight bend may affect exhaust flow dynamics more than a larger radius bend.

This specific model is manufactured from high-quality Swedish mild steel. Stainless steel versions are also available.
This is a tight 90-degree exhaust bend.
It is made from two pieces of formed steel that are welded together to achieve the tight bend.
While designed for competition and bespoke applications, it can be used on road cars as part of a custom exhaust system. Professional installation is recommended.
A tight bend allows for more compact exhaust routing in confined spaces, which is crucial for custom builds or vehicles with limited underbody clearance.
A tighter bend can introduce more backpressure than a larger radius bend, which may slightly affect peak power. However, for many applications, the packaging benefits are more significant.
Jetex offers this type of bend in various sizes, including 1.75 Inch, 2.5 Inch, and 3 Inch, in both mild and stainless steel.
Ensure you have ordered the correct diameter for your exhaust system. Verify that the ends of the pipes to be joined are clean and free of obstructions.
Ensure proper preparation of both the bend and the mating pipe. Use appropriate welding techniques and consumables for mild steel. If experiencing porosity, check for contaminants or inadequate shielding gas.
Inspect all weld points for completeness and integrity. Re-weld any areas showing signs of leaks. Ensure the connection is flush and secure before welding.
Setup: This exhaust bend is designed to be integrated into a custom exhaust system. Professional installation, typically involving cutting existing pipes and welding the bend into place, is recommended. Ensure proper fitment and alignment before welding.
Compatibility: The Jetex Tight 90 Degree Exhaust Bend is available in various sizes, including 1.75", 2", 2.5", and 3". This guide focuses on the 2-inch (51mm) diameter model. It is compatible with other exhaust components of the same diameter. Always verify the diameter of your existing system before purchase.
Care: For mild steel variants, regular inspection for rust or corrosion is advised, especially in environments exposed to salt or moisture. Applying a high-temperature exhaust coating can prolong the life of mild steel components. Stainless steel variants offer superior corrosion resistance. Clean the exterior with a mild degreaser and water as needed.
