Hey I'm currently shopping for some 3.5" stainless v-band assemblies, does anyone have a favorite that cost a little less than vibrant and is still a quality assembly?

 

I use the ones from Race Part Solutions. Work good and not really expensive. Think just about all the American made V Band clamps are from Five Star Manufacturing or Clampco so gonna be the same assembly just sold at different prices from different companies. Have bought some expensive ones and cheap ones and they are all stamped the same. Just find the best price and go with it.

 

I found some companies advertise them as stainless, mean while it's only the clamp that's stainless. PPE does this, the v band flange is mild steel with theirs.

 

vibrant i use alot

ive also used alot of summit brand vbands


never needed a 3.5" so no advice there

 

Summit brand flanges are quality, there clamps are so so. All stainless though.

 

Thanks all! I'll check them out.

 

I always get mine from Columbia River... I have never had an issue. Also they just came out with a interlocking vband assembly. I wanna try them out next.

 

i used jegs brand and had no issues

 

racepartsolutions is the only place I go for clamps. They have a positive locating flange, can be used with orings...
