whats the difference between a wiggins clamp and a v-band clamp? Same concept right? Just different names?

Use them on some test rigs at work, my new setup will use these for sure. Luckily there are only 2 </TD></TR></TABLE>

Not qute the same, you can't have much/any movement on a V-band or it will lose seal, whereas the Wiggens clamps will allow some movement/flex of the joint without bursting or losing pressure.

 

i cant remember where i got them, but i bought aluminum, o-ringed v-bands for less that $50 each. 2 1/2" and 3" for my charge piping. 1 piece piping FTW

 

they are made by Vibrant, here they are

50ish for 2 1/2
57 for 3"
74 for 4"

there was also a place online that would send you a AL/SS setup for doing exhausts, not o-ringed for obvious reasons though

 

on the turbo


on the TB

 

Wiggins clamps allow 10-15 degrees of movement when fully assembled. A wiggins on each side of a one piece intercooler pipe is fine, a v band on each side of a 1 pc pipe is not fine because if the motor moves at all something is going to crack.

 

but the motor, and both manifolds will move together. as they are bolted together

 

in that way yes, thought he was replying to my pics, in which it sits on a block, to allow movement.

but ya, on a large system with parts hard mounted, could be bad.

hey tony, what about a flex pipe
