V-Band Titanium Flange Assembly for 3.5in O.D.

The V-Band Titanium Flange Assembly for 3.5in O.D. by VIBRANT PERFORMANCE is engineered for high-performance exhaust and turbo system builders who demand rapid, leak-free connections without permanent welding. This quick-disconnect coupling system is ideal for turbocharger installations, intercooler piping, and custom exhaust work where serviceability and thermal management are critical. The titanium construction delivers uncompromising durability while minimizing weight—essential for both street and competition applications where every pound and degree matter.

V-Band assemblies function by using opposing band clamps that compress conical flanges, creating a sealed joint that handles extreme temperatures and pressure cycles without degradation. Titanium's superior strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance make it the material of choice over stainless steel in demanding engine bay environments where vibration, thermal cycling, and exhaust gas exposure are constant. The 3.5-inch outer diameter sizing accommodates mid-range turbo applications and intercooler core connections, offering a balance between flow capacity and packaging constraints. The assembly's modular design allows technicians to reconfigure systems, swap components, or perform maintenance without cutting, re-welding, or replacing entire sections of piping.

This component is essential for turbo builders, tuners, and fabricators working on single and twin-turbo engine builds, particularly in the LS, small-block Chevy, and modern direct-injection platforms where intercooler efficiency directly impacts power output. Installation requires a mating V-Band flange or coupling; users should verify bore diameter and wall thickness compatibility before assembly. The lightweight construction (0.87 lbs) minimizes rotating inertia and supports engine bay weight reduction goals without sacrificing structural integrity, making it a staple in road racing, drag racing, and forced-induction street applications.
