can somebody school me on "Vband" what are the pros and cons and any onther experiences with it. I also tried to search so please just help me out.

thanks Al

 

they are a hell of alot easier to get on and off.

 

and one con - price
and one pro - sealed for good

 

1 nut and it comes off as opposed to five or four. that's all no benefits other than that.

 

I use VBand clamps on my exhaust.
So EASY to get apart and on the ground.
So EASY to put together.
1 7/16" nut as opposed to nuts and bolts.

Its worth the added cost.

 

if you buy them from ATP turbo you can put one together for under $30

 

so I can get a vband turbo and downpipe correct

 

you can really prob vband anything you want , my Dp off the turbo is vabanded now and my bov. i was gonna vband my dp to my mid pipe too. just for more ease. i hate exhaust flanges. esp when the bolts rust together and shiz

 

thanks I appreciate the info guys

 

Nothing beats spending a little money up front to make working on the car easier.

Vband

 

i can vouch for that. after i ruined my stock radiator from hitting it with a wrench trying to get my old bolted dp off.

 

V-band is definitely going on my next setup All those downpipe bolts are a biotch to get off

 

Yeah -- i definate am thinking about getting a vband on my turbo. Question is--- is there an adapter for turbos that didn't come made for the vband?? I've got a 4bolt exhaust housing-- does it just bolt up to my housing?

 

you can buy the 4 bolt flange and then wled the vband to that , or weld the vband right to the turbo outlet. but im not fond on that. i did the flange thing so someone has the choice when i sell it.

 

I dunno im in love w/ v-band or something, im trying to run them in every place possible on my new set up.. downpipe, exhaust, bov, maybe even wastegate

Excatly what i am doing. Vband exhaust 3" complete..

if anyone needs vbands in different sizes let me know i get them for fairly decent price complete 3" with 2 flanges is around 58 bucks

 

Anybody got a picture or link regarding the Vband, I'm going turbo in March, and I don't mind spending a little extra, if it's worth it in the long run. I personally have never seen one of these.

Thanxs

you have two piece of pipe on either side and they are clamed together to form a tight seal. you can weld one side to 5 bolt flange and the other side to your downpiep and then clamp them to gether quick and easily

especially when you dont have a flex pipe, i didnt even know something like this existed

 

well Im glad people learned off this topic I apprecaite it and I will hopefully purchasing this to make it easier on my mechanic

 

i am all for V-Band except cant find good source (more economical/cheap)

 

i needa 2.5 and a 3 inch v-band set up all 3 peices please help i ned where can you get decently priced

 

I looked and couldn't find where to get a 4 bolt flange with a 2.5in vband aleady attatched to it. Anybody know where to get them besides cheapturbos.com, cuz there's are 140


I think someone should do a group buy on them

 

you prob wont find thme cheap, just get the flange itself and weld the vband on it
