Vibrant SS Turbo FLEX Coupling with Interlock Liner 2.5in Inlet/Outlet x 4in Long for Subaru WRX/STI Evo & Turbo Builds
Vibrant Performance 60804 is a stainless steel flexible coupling built for turbocharged exhaust systems. It fits universal 2.5-inch turbo downpipes on vehicles like Subaru WRX STI and Mitsubishi Evo while absorbing engine vibration to protect manifolds and pipes. This design cuts stress on components for longer exhaust life in high-performance applications.
Key Features
- T304 Stainless Steel Braid: Resists corrosion and heat up to 1600°F for reliable performance in demanding turbo environments
- Interlock Liner: Reinforces inner wall to prevent collapse under boost pressure and thermal expansion
- 2.5in Inlet/Outlet: Matches standard turbo downpipe sizes for direct bolt-on replacement in most setups
- 4in Length: Compact size navigates tight engine bays without sacrificing flex range
- Vibration Isolation: Dampens engine movement to stop cracks in manifolds downpipes and hangers
Product Notes
- Inspect ends for proper pipe overlap during mock-up before final clamp tightening
- Clean mating surfaces to ensure airtight seal and avoid exhaust leaks
- Packages in protective tube ships via UPS Ground or FedEx
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Requires 2.5in heavy-duty exhaust clamps or V-band flanges rated for turbo heat
- Align coupling straight with pipes torque clamps to 60 in-lbs for secure hold
