any experience with v-band exhaust setups?
I'm debating on a v-band downpipe setup with the new t3 and was wondering if anyone has any insight on this? ATP has some beautiful parts I have my eye on! http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/me...egory_Code=BCS

v-band is the new fad in exhaust systems. no gaskets, and they line up the piping perfect pretty much.... plus it is only one bolt instead of 2 or 3 that can be hard to get at.
you should also check out the prices at www.mandrel-bends.com adam is a great guy to deal with.
were you going to put the v-band directly on the exhaust housing?

I built my whole setup with V bands. soooooooooooooooo much easier to R&R and seals way better. no gaskets anywhere after my manifold is the bomb.
Plus you can rotate the joints to perfectly line everything up and prevent rattling. so what if they're $75 a set?

I bought a SS T3 5bolt Vband flange from ATP last year, never used it, pulled it out of the box a few weeks ago and its all rusty now. So apparently theirs isn't all SS either. I paid a buttload for that too..

I like wide truck exhaust clamps. $8 from ebay and no need to weld anything.
Here you get the big picture.

Pretty nice and cool pieces there! The t2X flange to V band is pretty hot!
