V-Band and mild steel flange
1 Attachment(s)
For those of you that are familiar with v-band clamps...I am looking for a supplier that has mild steel v-band style flanges and a stainless steel v-band clamp. The flanges need to be 3.5". I have found numerous aluminum and stainless but no mild steel to weld to my existing exhaust. I am in the process of upgrading my sidepipes and would like to ad that feature for future upgrades or options. Thanks bermblaster

They have the flanges in both 1020 carbon steel and 304 SS. Not a bad idea. I'm looking at changing to a less restrictive muffler and this may be a better alternative to an all welded installation. |

I've done several of these and about to do another setup on my spec racer. SPD is where I get all my exhaust bits. They are the best I've seen.

When I did mine I used Burns 3.5" stainless flanges and clamps. I had them tigged to mild steel exhaust pipe. Collecters to mufflers and then to turn out pipe. In total I have three sets of interchangable mufflers. EM original , Lo-Bak, and straight through open pipes. I used the staggered flange method creating a male to female connection. One side of the joint the pipe is inside the V-flangefrom the flange mating surface, the other side of the joint, the pipe protrudes from the V-flange mating surface a matching length so the gap in the pipes is staggered so it doesn't line up with the gap in the flanges. Leakage is minor and manageable. I was then able to have the 2 piece headers (from engine to inside body and then through body -turn and collecter), 2 sets of mufflers and open pipe (muffler substitute), and turnout pipe, all ceramic coated inside and out and tumble polished. My setup has the muffler hanger bracket secured to each muffler. My exhaust is rich and slobbers some. Some of it manages to escape the joints. Almost absolute but not exactly. Given time it should coke up seal off . Burns offered a reduced price on the V-flange and clamp kits, if ordered in quantities . I ended up using 8 kit sets of flanges and clamps but didn't anticapate the total quantity and ordered the kits in small bunches. I can change mufflers with a whench and screw driver. I have the hot mufflers covered with the perforated SS shrouds from Finish Line accessories.
