Vibrant Aluminum V-Band Flange for 3in OD Tubing - Female
This Vibrant Performance V-band flange provides a reliable modular connection for custom aluminum or stainless steel charge piping and exhaust systems. It fits securely on 3.00 inch outer diameter tubing as the female side of the joint. Use it in turbocharger setups intercooler piping or exhaust configurations for leak-free performance and easy assembly.
Key Features
- Material: CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum for strength at 0.15 lb weight
- Dimensions: 3.00 inch bore 3.621 inch flange OD 0.250 inch thickness for precise 3in OD tube fit
- Connection Type: Female V-band design mates with male flange and clamp for quick repeatable seals
- Application: Works in high-heat exhaust or boost charge pipes as alternative to slip fits or bolted flanges
- Finish: Clear anodized surface resists corrosion in automotive environments
Product Notes
- Pair with matching male flange like Vibrant 11491M and V-band clamp for complete assembly
- Inspect for damage before use and avoid over-torquing during install
- Ships in protective foam packaging to prevent bending
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Debur tube ends and clean flange faces for airtight seal
- Compatible with Vibrant Performance V-band clamps torque to 6-8 ft-lbs

Fabrication
Fabrication parts and materials provide the raw components needed to build, repair, and modify custom exhaust systems, turbocharger plumbing, intercooler piping, fuel system lines, oil routing, and engine bay heat management on performance and competition vehicles. Stainless steel tubing, titanium tubing, aluminum charge piping, mandrel bends, pie cuts, flanges, merge collectors, V-band clamps, O2 sensor bungs, AN fittings, PTFE hose kits, braided fuel and oil lines, heat shields, and welding supplies are the backbone of any serious custom fabrication project. Professional fabricators, race team mechanics, and advanced DIY builders who want full control over exhaust routing, charge pipe layout, or fuel system plumbing choose raw fabrication materials rather than pre-bent kits because custom fabrication allows fitment solutions that no universal kit can accommodate. Brands including Vibrant Performance, Ticon Industries, Stainless Bros, Radium Engineering, Fragola, and DEI provide th...

Flanges
Exhaust flanges are the bolted connection points where exhaust manifolds mate to downpipes, where sections of exhaust pipe join at catalytic converters and muffler inlets, and where aftermarket headers connect to factory or custom collector sections, making flange quality and correct material specification critical for maintaining leak-free exhaust connections under the extreme temperature cycling that performance exhaust systems experience. Flange warping and gasket failures at exhaust connection points are among the most common exhaust leak sources on both stock and modified vehicles, as the thermal expansion differences between the flange material and the connected pipe cause progressive face distortion over time that breaks the gasket seal. Performance exhaust builders use thick-cut mild steel, stainless steel, or titanium flanges in precise O.D. profiles matched to their pipe diameter to ensure the clamping surface remains flat through hundreds of heat cycles. This collection c...
