Default Which aluminum 3" vband are you using?

Just curious what people are using? Need to wrap this thing up this weekend, cold side anyway and just curious what brand or what style people are using..

Ive seen a few different style, wiggins/pegusus style seems like the hot ticket.

then i see different companies like OBX, which i have their steel ones on my exhaust and are fantastic pieces. But not sure on their aluminum ones with no o rings.

talk to me

Racepartssolutions has everything you'd need for that type of stuff. The Wiggins style clamps are the ****, but fkn expensive. I stick with the nice 4 ply silicone, and a good tbolt clamp. I ran 40psi plus on my DSM with them, and never had an issue on a bead rolled pipe.

I have aluminum v bands from Wolfe. They are really thick and come with rubber o rings and aren't a ton of money.
