I have a customer who brought in a car for a bolt on custom exhaust.He had told me the stock system had vband connectors so I loaded up on those.We got car in,took off bumper and dropped the whole exhaust system.Its actually running these flared vband looking fanges.



I have been looking for a place all day long to order some but no luck.Cant seem to get a name for them either.Some places had them as flared reducers others as marmon fange and also flared connectors.

Cutting off the factory ends and welding on a common vband is NOT an option.Let me know if you guys know where to get some stainess ones,thanks.

 

this is what ive make for a Peugeot exhaust system that comes with some type of vband too.. repaired it.







Used something like this:

I hope this help!.

 

cut off both sides of that and weld on the vbands you loaded up on.

nvm just read the bottom of your post below the picture. flare it yourself in a press with a mandrel made to the same specs you need to seal properly.

 

Maybe these would work?

flare them in a shop press using the top of an argon tank cover/cap

 

Transition cone wont work for that, they are typically 35 degrees. That's a 60 degree flare die atleast. It can also be made from a 45 degree flare die then flipping the die over to the flat face and pushing a bit further.

 

Tried this and after a few tries got it down! Thanks for the idea.Im looking for a dedicated flare system now.The press method does work but its gotta be right on the money centered wise.

 

I believe its called a marman flange
