The catch on many clamps is the long T-bolt you have to spin off every time the joint comes apart. Vibrant's 1494C adds a quick-release mechanism, so a 5-inch diesel or big-turbo exhaust can be opened up in seconds when you need to pull a turbo, swap a test pipe or check a wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSizing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eV-band clamps are sized by the outside diameter of the flange, not the pipe. This clamp fits V-band flanges with a 5.75-inch OD, which is the flange size usually welded to 5-inch tubing. Measure across the outside of your flange lip before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: Vibrant 1494C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: V-band flanges, 5.75 in.

Seat the clamp over both flanges, tighten it evenly while tapping around the band with a soft mallet to help it settle, then retighten after the first heat cycle. Anti-seize on the threads keeps it serviceable in high heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill this fit a 5.75 inch pipe?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The 5.75-inch dimension is the flange OD.
