Methods of Bending Stainless Steel Exhaust Pipes

When it comes to custom exhaust systems, two of the most effective and commonly used methods are compression bending and mandrel bending. Here’s a breakdown of each:

Compression Bending

• Best for: Less critical exhaust systems with low-pressure flow.
• Considerations: Not recommended for lower-quality materials or thinner tubing, as it may cause collapsing or flattening on the outside of the bend or wrinkling on the inside of the bend.
• Pro Tip: For successful compression bending, stainless steel tubing should have a minimum thickness of 14 Gauges.

Mandrel Bending

Mandrel bending is ideal for creating smooth, precise bends in stainless steel exhaust pipes. This method uses different types of mandrels to prevent deformation:

• • Plug Mandrel
  • Standard Open Pitch mandrel
  • Closed Pitch Mandrel (Thin Wall Mandrel)

Key Factors in Stainless Steel Pipe Bending

Before bending stainless steel exhaust pipes, we carefully consider several factors to ensure the best results:

• Outside Diameter
• Centerline Radius
• Wall Thickness
• Tube Elongation
• Bend Angle

These details help us deliver a smooth, functional, and durable custom exhaust system tailored to your needs.
