Vibrant 1494M 304 SS V-Band Flange Male for 5 in. OD Tubing Universal

Vehicle Fitment

• Universal - No vehicle-specific fitment. Compatible with any exhaust, downpipe, turbo outlet, or charge piping application using 5 in. O.D. tubing requiring a V-band flanged connection.

Fitment Notes

• This is the male V-band flange only. Must be paired with a matching female flange (Vibrant 1494F) and a compatible V-band clamp for a complete connection.
• Designed for use with 5 in. O.D. tubing. Confirm tube diameter before ordering.
• Counterbored for 5 in. tubing - allows the tube to slip into the flange for proper weld alignment.
• Sold individually. One male flange per purchase.
• Professional welding recommended for attachment to tubing.

Features

• T304 stainless steel construction handles high heat, corrosion, and acidic exhaust gases
• Unique male/female design ensures proper alignment inside the V-band clamp - eliminates misalignment common with standard flat flanges
• Gasket-free sealing design reduces leak points and eliminates the need for replacement gaskets
• Quick-release V-band clamp compatibility allows fast disassembly for maintenance or tuning access
• Superior positive retention versus slip-fit or spring-bolt flanged connections under vibration and thermal cycling
• Counterbored weld end accepts 5 in. tubing for proper fitment and clean TIG or MIG welds
• Low-profile flange design provides a clean, compact appearance in tight exhaust or charge piping installations
• Compatible with Vibrant V-band clamps and female flanges (1494F) in the same 5 in. O.D. size

Product Description

The Vibrant 1494M is a T304 stainless steel male V-band flange designed for 5 in. O.D. tubing in exhaust, turbo outlet, and large-diameter charge piping applications. The counterbored weld end accepts 5 in. tubing for precise, gap-free TIG or MIG welds. The unique male profile locks into the matching female flange (1494F) inside the V-band clamp, providing automatic radial alignment and a gasket-free seal - eliminating the port misalignment common with flat-face flanged connections.

V-band connections provide superior retention under the stress, vibration, and temperature fluctuations common in high-performance exhaust and forced induction applications, while the quick-release clamp design allows the joint to be broken and reassembled quickly for tuning access or maintenance. This male flange must be paired with a matching female flange (1494F) and a compatible V-band clamp to form a complete connection. Sold individually.
