Vibrant T304 SS V-Band Flange Assembly for 2.5in O.D. Tubing incl 2 V-Band flanges & 1 V-Band Clamp
Vibrant Performance V-band flange assembly connects 2.5 inch outer diameter tubing in custom exhaust systems for cars trucks and race vehicles. The male female flange design and quick-release clamp deliver a gasket-free seal that resists leaks from high heat vibration and thermal expansion. Built for turbo downpipes exhaust mids and intercooler pipes this kit handles demanding performance conditions.
Key Features
- T304 Stainless Steel Build: Full construction from grade 304 stainless resists corrosion oxidation and temperatures up to 1600F for long-term durability in exhaust applications
- Male Female Flange Design: Precision machined flanges align perfectly inside the clamp to prevent misalignment and ensure a tight leak-proof joint every time
- Quick-Release Clamp Mechanism: Stainless steel clamp with T-handle nut allows tool-free release and fast reassembly ideal for maintenance or adjustments on the fly
- Gasket-Free Sealing: No additional gaskets or springs needed reducing parts count and eliminating common failure points in high-stress environments
- 2.5in OD Tubing Fit: Matches standard 2.5 inch outer diameter tubing with 0.049 to 0.083 inch wall thickness used in most aftermarket exhaust setups
Product Notes
- Supports tubing from 1.5in to 5in OD across the V-band lineup for versatile fabrication projects
- Alternative to slip-fit or bolted flanges for connections exposed to flex and temperature swings
- MPN 1490 matches Vibrant catalog for easy reordering and compatibility verification
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Tighten clamp nut to 7-9 ft-lbs using a torque wrench for proper seal without damaging flanges
- Works with standard exhaust springs and hardware for secure mounting in tight engine bays
