The kit is engineered to accept standard 3\" exhaust tubing by providing recessed flanges that let the pipe slide in for an optimal overlap ready for welding. It’s intended for turbo systems, downpipes, catbacks and other high-power exhaust applications where reliable clamping and frequent removal may be needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this V-band kit fit a 3\" exhaust pipe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flanges in this kit have a recessed opening so 3\" tubing can be inserted and welded with a correct overlap.
