Regular bent pipe can kink or flatten at the curve, choking your flow. Mandrel bent keeps your velocity and backpressure consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"K2 Industries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48610620604599,"sku":"K2-13571-UNV-006-EXH","price":229.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/milkymotorsports.com\/products\/2-5-180-degree-u-bend-exhaust-pipe-tubing-mandrel-bent-stainless-steel","provider":"Milky Motorsports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
