If you're diving into a custom project, let me tell you about this HPS 2.5" OD 80 Degree Bend Aluminum Elbow Tube. This isn’t just any piece of metal; it’s crafted from 6061-T6 aluminum, which means it’s tough and lightweight—perfect for those DIY air intakes or turbo setups you’ve been dreaming of.
Now, let's break down the specs. The outside diameter is 2-1/2 inches (63mm), which is a common size for many setups. The wall thickness is 16 gauge (1.65mm), so you know it can handle a bit of pressure without crumpling like a soda can. Each leg is 6 inches long, giving you some flexibility in how you route your piping. And with an 80-degree bend and a center line radius of 2-1/2 inches, it’s designed for smooth airflow—no sharp turns to mess with your boost.
This elbow isn’t just for show; it's got real-world applications across various industries—automotive, marine, aerospace—you name it. But let’s be honest, if you’re here, you’re probably looking to amp up your ride’s performance or tackle a custom cooling system. Whether you're fabricating a turbo intercooler piping setup or just looking to improve airflow, this elbow is a solid choice.
So, if you're ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work, this HPS elbow is a great building block for your next project. Just keep in mind, it’s all about the fitment, so make sure you’re pairing it with the right components for your vehicle. Happy building!
