Stainless Steel V-Band F lange for 2in O.D.

The Stainless Steel V-Band Flange for 2in O.D. from Vibrant Performance is a precision exhaust coupling component designed for high-performance turbo and intercooler piping systems. Whether you're building a custom turbocharger manifold, upgrading intercooler plumbing, or fabricating a complete intake tract, this V-band flange serves as the foundation for quick-disconnect, leak-free connections. It's engineered for builders and mechanics who demand reliability without compromise, eliminating the need for traditional clamping while maintaining superior clamping force and repeatability across multiple disassembly cycles.

Constructed from stainless steel, this flange resists corrosion and thermal oxidation in high-heat exhaust environments while maintaining its structural integrity under boost pressures. The V-band design—a tapered groove that seats a springy band clamp—distributes clamping force evenly around the 2-inch outer diameter opening, preventing localized stress concentrations and micro-leaks that plague traditional bolt-on flanges. The 0.175 lb weight keeps your assembly light, critical for reducing rotating and reciprocating mass in engine bay applications. Vibrant Performance's precision manufacturing ensures concentricity and flange flatness, which directly translates to seal repeatability and eliminates rework during installation and tuning phases.

This stainless steel V-band flange pairs seamlessly with 2-inch O.D. tubing and works across all turbo applications—LS engine swaps, FA20 builds, 4-cylinder boosted platforms, and diesel systems alike. Installers benefit from tool-free assembly: simply slide the V-band clamp over the mating flange, tighten the band, and you've achieved a repeatable connection rated for sustained boost without weeping. Ideal for engine builders, tuning shops, and experienced DIY fabricators, this flange reduces installation time while improving system reliability under sustained high-boost and thermal cycling conditions.
