3 bolt exhaust flange

[crimsondragon]

Anyone run them on their exhaust system? I'm thinking of switching over to it because I keep getting exhaust leaks after a couple thousand miles even with a new gasket. Either this or just switch it all to V band. Any insight?

I ran a 3 bolt exhaust flange for 6 years , it never leaked. V-band is a really nice route to go because it makes it really easy to get it apart/together.

Check out Intercooler Pipe Fabrication - Silicone Intake Systems Auto Parts for v-bands. Pricing is awesome, and I run one of there 3.5 v-band kits on my car.

V-band is better. More flexibility and no gasket or {rusted} bolts/nuts to worry about.

vbands do leak a little. Put a bit of orange high temp silicone between the flanges though, and you should be set.
