3.5in Stainless V-Band Flange Assembly Each

The 3.5in Stainless V-Band Flange Assembly Each from Vibrant Performance is an essential exhaust and intake tubing connector designed for professional-grade engine modifications and performance builds. This component serves as a quick-disconnect coupling system that allows seamless assembly and disassembly of exhaust or intake piping without welding or permanent fastening. Ideal for automotive enthusiasts, tuners, and technicians who demand reliability and repeatability in their exhaust system configurations, the V-band assembly eliminates the need for band clamps while providing superior clamping force distribution across the entire joint surface.

Constructed entirely from stainless steel, this 3.5-inch flange assembly resists corrosion and thermal degradation even under extreme exhaust temperatures, ensuring long service life and consistent performance. The V-band design utilizes two conical flanges and a locking clamp that creates a progressively tightening seal as the clamp is torqued, distributing loads evenly and preventing leakage without over-tightening or damage to the flanges. The stainless construction not only provides corrosion resistance but also maintains structural integrity through repeated thermal cycling, making it suitable for forced induction, turbo, and naturally aspirated applications alike.

This assembly is most beneficial for custom turbo installations, engine swaps, and modular exhaust system builds where quick-access connections are paramount. Each flange is precision-engineered to accept standard 3.5-inch outer diameter tubing, making it compatible with most aftermarket exhaust piping and intake manifold adapters in the motorsports and performance automotive market. Installation requires basic hand tools and torque specifications readily available in Vibrant Performance documentation, ensuring straightforward assembly without specialized equipment or welding expertise.
