Vibrant Titanium V-Band Flange for 3in OD Tubing - Male
Vibrant Performance V-band flanges connect 3-inch OD tubing in custom exhaust systems for turbo downpipes, intercooler piping, and high-flow setups on performance vehicles. The male titanium flange mates with female flanges for leak-free seals under boost pressure. This design withstands extreme heat cycles, road vibration, and engine stress for reliable operation.
Key Features
- Titanium Flange: CP1 grade titanium provides lightweight strength and corrosion resistance up to 1650°F for long-term durability in exhaust applications
- Stainless Steel Clamp: 300 series stainless construction with quick-release mechanism allows tool-free adjustments and secure 360-degree clamping pressure
- Male/Female Alignment: Precision machined male profile centers inside the clamp for perfect tube alignment and zero leaks even after repeated disassembly
- High-Stress Performance: Handles vibration, thermal expansion, and pressure fluctuations better than slip-fit or bolted flanges
- Universal Sizing: Matches 3.00-inch OD tubing with availability in 2.5-inch to 4-inch sizes for broad exhaust fabrication needs
Product Notes
- Pair with matching Vibrant female flange like 12491F for complete V-band connection
- Apply anti-seize to clamp bolt threads to prevent galling during installation
- Compact design ships flat with minimal packaging for easy storage
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Torque clamp bolt to 8-10 ft-lbs for optimal sealing without damaging flange
- Compatible with all standard V-band hardware. includes stainless T-bolt clamp
