SS V-Band Flanges

Postby Mad » Wed Apr 08, 2015 10:59 am

Hi Guys,

I'm chasing a couple of VBand flanges to tig onto some 3" stainless. I might just be being tight ass but $50 for a set of 2 seems steep, especially because I need 4... Before anyone comments about making an easy flange from copper to join on there I had thought of it but am trying to stick with the stainless route as much as possible. Ebay seems to be my friend but best I've found is $36 a set and you have no idea of the quality you're getting. Anyone have recommendations, suggestions, places I could try even with shipping. I've tried everywhere local cheapest set i found was $72 and the exhaust shop doesnt even sell them he told me go online... :angry-banghead:

:laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: ~x( bahaa zak. I did look there... and I couldnt find the flange on it's own. I knew mac would have it but I got so lost I even sent him an email asking hahaha and put this post up in the mean time. ebay is crazy on prices and you have no idea what you'll be getting, I really thought these things would be everywhere especially exhaust shops. thanks again, glad I asked now even if it was a retarded question!

There may be cheaper shit on eBay, but with 5 Star gear you know you are getting quality :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Not sure exactly what you're looking for but do you mean a triclamp ferrel? If so try this
