Vibrant 1489 T304 Stainless Quick-Release V-Band Flange Assembly 2.25 in. OD Kit

Vehicle Fitment

• Universal - No vehicle-specific fitment. Compatible with any custom exhaust, turbo, downpipe, or induction system using 2.25 in. O.D. tubing on any race car, street car, hot rod, truck, or motorcycle.

Fitment Notes

• This is a universal fabrication component. Fitment is determined by the builder based on project requirements.
• Designed for use with 2.25 in. O.D. exhaust or charge tubing. Verify tubing O.D. before purchase.
• V-band flanges must be welded to existing tubing. Professional welding knowledge is recommended for installation.
• Quick-release clamp included - no additional clamp purchase required.

Features

• Unique Male/Female flange design ensures precise and consistent alignment of both flanges inside the clamp
• Quick-release clamping mechanism allows for fast, tool-free removal - ideal for track use and frequent service intervals
• Gasket-free sealing design eliminates the need for exhaust gaskets, reducing leak points and maintenance requirements
• Performs reliably under conditions of extreme heat, stress, and vibration - well-suited for high-output performance applications
• Low-profile clamp design aids fitment in tight underbody or engine bay clearance situations
• Manufactured from T304 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance and long-term durability
• Modular connection design enables easy exhaust component swapping without cutting or disassembling the system
• One-year limited manufacturer warranty included

Product Description

The Vibrant Performance 1489 is a complete V-Band Flange Assembly designed for 2.25 in. O.D. exhaust or charge tubing. The kit includes two T304 stainless steel flanges - one male and one female - along with a quick-release V-band clamp, providing everything needed for a fully modular, gasket-free tube connection in a single purchase. The Male/Female flange design is a Vibrant-exclusive feature that ensures the two flanges self-align within the clamp, preventing misalignment, reducing stress on welds, and producing a clean, leak-free seal every time the assembly is tightened.

V-band connections are widely favored in performance and motorsport fabrication as a superior alternative to traditional flanged or slip-fit joints. They deliver a strong, repeatable seal under demanding conditions - including high exhaust temperatures, mechanical vibration, and thermal cycling - without requiring a gasket. The quick-release clamp design makes component swapping at the track or during maintenance exceptionally fast, requiring no special tools and minimal effort to open or close the connection.

Constructed entirely from T304 stainless steel, the 1489 offers excellent resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and the harsh acidic environment of exhaust gas. This is a universal fabrication component with no vehicle-specific fitment - compatibility is determined by tubing outer diameter and builder requirements. Both flanges must be welded to the mating tubes before the clamp can be installed. Sold as a complete kit. One-year limited warranty included.
