V-Band Titanium Flange Assembly for 3in OD

The V-Band Titanium Flange Assembly for 3in OD from Vibrant Performance is a precision-engineered coupling solution designed for high-performance exhaust, turbo, and intake manifold applications where reliability and weight savings matter. This assembly serves as a critical connection point in forced-induction and custom exhaust systems, allowing builders to create modular, leak-free junctions without welding or permanent fastening. Whether you're fabricating a custom turbo manifold, building a race-spec exhaust, or assembling aftermarket intake piping, a V-band flange system offers the flexibility and durability that serious engine work demands.

Titanium construction is the defining advantage here—it delivers superior heat resistance and a dramatic weight reduction compared to cast iron or stainless steel flanges. The V-band clamping mechanism uses dual ears and a spring-loaded band that distributes clamping load evenly around the joint, creating a repeatable, gas-tight seal without the risk of warping or hydrogen embrittlement associated with welding. At 0.86 lbs and designed to accommodate 3-inch outside diameter tubing, this assembly minimizes unsprung mass while maintaining the structural integrity needed for high-boost applications and sustained high-RPM operation. The precision machining ensures concentricity, critical for turbo spools and exhaust scavenging efficiency.

This V-Band Titanium Flange Assembly benefits engine builders, turbo installers, and fabricators working on street or race vehicles where modularity and repeated assembly cycles are essential. Installation is straightforward—slide the band over both flanges, tighten the clamp bolts in a cross pattern, and you're sealed and ready to run. The 3-inch OD specification aligns with common turbo outlet sizes and exhaust piping diameters, making it compatible with most modern bolt-on turbo kits and custom manifold builds. Vibrant Performance's reputation for quality ensures proper fitment and longevity across thousands of heat cycles.
