Vibrant SS Turbo FLEX Coupling with Interlock Liner 3in inlet/outlet x 8in long - Universal Turbo Fit
Vibrant Performance 61008 delivers stainless steel flexible coupling for turbocharged exhaust systems with 3 inch inlet and outlet sized for 8 inch length. This universal part installs on most aftermarket turbo downpipes and manifolds in performance vehicles. It isolates engine vibration to prevent cracking in manifolds and downpipes while extending exhaust component life in forced induction setups.
Key Features
- T304 Stainless Steel Braid: Handles extreme turbo heat up to 1600°F and resists corrosion for long lasting performance in harsh conditions
- Interlock Liner: Aluminized steel inner liner supports structure and maintains smooth unrestricted exhaust flow without restriction
- Vibration Isolation: Absorbs engine and turbo pulses to reduce stress on exhaust joints flanges and piping
- Precise Sizing: 3.00 inch female inlet/outlet x 8.00 inch overall length matches standard 3 inch turbo setups for direct bolt on fit
- High Flow Design: Minimizes backpressure in turbo systems for improved throttle response and power delivery
Product Notes
- Compatible with V-band or marmon flanges use matching 3 inch clamps sold separately
- Inspect regularly for wear in high heat applications
- Avoid over flexing during install to preserve braid integrity
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Requires 3 inch V-band flanges or band clamps on mating pipes
- Use anti-seize on clamps torque to 8-10 ft-lbs for secure seal
