Vibrant T304 SS V-Band Flange Assembly for 2.375in O.D. Tubing (Incl 2 V-Band Flange & 1 V-Band)
This Vibrant Performance V-band flange assembly connects 2.375in OD tubing in custom exhaust and turbo systems on performance vehicles. The design delivers a secure, reusable seal that withstands extreme heat, vibration, and pressure changes common in racing and street applications. It serves as a direct replacement for welded or slip joints, enabling faster disassembly for maintenance.
Key Features
- T304 Stainless Steel Clamp: Full 300 series construction resists corrosion and handles temperatures up to 1600°F for long-term durability in harsh exhaust environments.
- Quick-Release Mechanism: Allows tool-free clamping and unclamping in seconds, simplifying turbo swaps, downpipe removal, and routine inspections without damaging components.
- Male/Female Flange Pair: Interlocking design ensures perfect alignment and a gas-tight seal, preventing leaks that rob horsepower in high-boost setups.
- Precise 2.375in Sizing: Matches common OD tubing in aftermarket exhaust kits, intercooler piping, and wastegate dumps for seamless integration.
- Vibration-Resistant: Maintains clamp tension under engine movement and road abuse, reducing come-apart risks in drag, drift, or track cars.
Product Notes
- Compatible with mild steel, stainless, or aluminized tubing. weld flanges directly to pipe ends.
- Clean mating surfaces before assembly to achieve maximum seal integrity.
- Assembly includes 2 flanges and 1 clamp. additional clamps sold separately as Vibrant 14962.
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Tack weld flanges to tubing, then full circumferential weld using TIG for strength.
- Requires 13mm socket or V-band tool for clamp tightening to 6-8 ft-lbs torque.
