Vibrant SS Turbo FLEX Coupling with Interlock Liner 3in inlet/outlet x 6in long
Vibrant Performance 61006 flex coupling fits universal 3-inch turbo downpipes and exhaust systems on performance vehicles with forced induction. This stainless steel component absorbs engine vibration to prevent stress on manifolds and downpipes. It extends the service life of exhaust parts while maintaining flexibility under high pressure.
Key Features
- Stainless Steel Construction: T304 braided outer sleeve resists corrosion and withstands extreme heat for long-term durability in turbo environments
- Interlock Liner Design: Handles high-pressure turbo pulses without collapsing ensuring reliable performance
- Precise Dimensions: 3-inch inlet 3-inch outlet 6-inch length and 3.5-inch outer diameter for direct weld-on fit in custom exhaust setups
- Vibration Isolation: Decouples engine movement from exhaust reducing cracks in headers downpipes and connected components
- Forced Induction Ready: Built specifically for turbocharged and supercharged applications to maintain exhaust flow integrity
Product Notes
- Weld-on design requires matching 3-inch piping for secure connection
- Inspect regularly for wear in high-heat environments
- Packaged to prevent shipping damage
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- TIG weld ends to exhaust tubing using stainless filler rod
- Compatible with V-band clamps or band clamps on adjacent flanges
