You get smooth, consistent interior diameter throughout the bend — no pinching. That means better exhaust flow and no turbulence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"K2 Industries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48610620801207,"sku":"K2-13570-UNV-006-EXH","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/milkymotorsports.com\/products\/2-5-180-degree-u-bend-exhaust-pipe-tubing-mandrel-bent-stainless-steel-1","provider":"Milky Motorsports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
