Stainless Steel V-Band F lange for 2.5in O.D.

The Stainless Steel V-Band Flange for 2.5in O.D. from Vibrant Performance is a precision-engineered coupling component designed for exhaust, turbo, and intake manifold systems where quick-disconnect assembly is essential. V-Band connections are favored by performance tuners, race teams, and aftermarket builders who need reliable, reusable joints without welding or permanent fasteners. This male-style flange accommodates 2.5-inch outer diameter tubing and provides a sealed, vibration-resistant connection that withstands high-temperature and high-pressure environments.

Constructed from premium stainless steel, this V-Band flange features a 0.688-inch thick profile that ensures structural rigidity and longevity under thermal cycling and mechanical stress. The male configuration interfaces with a corresponding female V-Band flange and clamp assembly, forming a metal-to-metal seal that does not require gaskets, reducing leak points and simplifying maintenance. Stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to mild steel alternatives, making it ideal for wet climates, salt-exposure applications, and long-term durability in demanding automotive and marine environments.

This flange is best suited for turbocharged engine builds, custom exhaust systems, and high-performance intake manifold projects where modular construction and easy dis-assembly are valued. Installation requires pairing with a compatible female V-Band flange and a V-Band clamp kit—the clamp is tightened around the two flanges to create the seal without tools beyond a wrench. Compact dimensions (4.7 x 5.55 inches) and lightweight design (0.28 lbs) make this component easy to integrate into tight engine bay configurations. Verify tubing O.D. matches 2.5 inches exactly before purchase to ensure proper fit and performance.
