What it does is fix the problem that appears once the main runs are tacked and the silencer does not quite line up with where it has to sit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pair of them, opposed, gives a shallow offset that shifts a run sideways without changing its direction — the standard way of dodging a shock mount or a frame rail without redrawing the whole exhaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSmall Bore, Thick Wall\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt twenty-eight millimetres a one millimetre wall would collapse on the inside of the radius under any bender. A millimetre and a half survives it, which is why this diameter carries the heavier wall through the whole tube and bend range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trade is weight, and at this size the weight is trivial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Uses 28 mm\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBalance pipes between headers, link sections on 125s and small singles, and the short connecting runs a one-off system needs around the main gas path. On anything above 250 cc it is plumbing rather than exhaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMandrel, Not Crush\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA mandrel bender supports the tube from the inside as it forms, so the section stays round and the bore stays constant. A crush bender does not: the tube flattens on the radius and the flow area drops where the gas is already having to turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery bend Spark sells is mandrel-formed. That is the difference between a bought bend and one made in a shed with a hydraulic press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCutting It Down\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 30° bend can be cut back to fifteen or twenty degrees, and often is. Cut through the curve, not through the straight tangent, and you keep a usable straight end on the piece you are throwing away as well as the one you are keeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere It Gets Supported\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven at this size a bend is where a system flexes and where it eventually cracks: the weld at the tangent is a stress concentration. Put a mounting point within a hand's width of any bend carrying weight, and make at least one mount in the system rubber-isolated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOrdering\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne bend per article.
