Thread: Vband flanges

What are the best v band flanges out there that are not too expensive but also have decent quality as well? I hear the cheaper ebay ones leak, I see some by "OBX" pretty decent pricr but no reviews on them.... let me know what brands you have had luck with.

ebay and made sure the mating surfaces were flat before installing

We carry some that are really good and dont warp while welding. The flanges have one side with a "male" lip and the other side is "female" so it provides better locking sealing.

So the evay clamps are not actually bad, it's just installation error? Any more tips for installing these I'm sure the local muffler shops in my area never delt with them before.

That is similar to what obx is doing, theirs does not use a gasket in the center. where can I find yours autotech? follow the link in your signature area?

no vband uses a gasket and its not installation error its just not taking the time to make the mating surfaces flat before installing. your local muffler shop should understand

Those are not up on the site yet as we are still loading up tons of products. Let me see if I can get a picture for you.

ATP TURBO - The Premiere Provider of Turbocharging Components or you can also get them from treadsone

EBay has some good ones

my entire exhaust is vband from the turbo back and i used only ebay clamps, and they are great, try finding the ones that have the lip cut in one, and a groove cut in the other one, they seem to be the best ones
