Default Help finding the right 5"+ v-band clamp

I'm having trouble finding the correct clamp for a 5" flange... the clamp itself actually needs to be approx 5.75" since the OD of the flange is larger than 5" (seems obvious but apparently some people I've ordered from do not understand this).

I have one clamp that won't work because it is too fat (doesn't pull the two flanges together tight enough). I guess that one would be considered "heavy duty" style, and won't work. I also spent a week and a half waiting on a clamp from the company that actually makes my downpipe/midpipe and they sent one that was too small (it was 5" max).

I need this ASAP so I was hoping someone would know where I can get it.

Thanks.

What is this for? Is it a BW turbo perhaps? If so you need a specific flange for it.

It's just for my downpipe to midpipe. The flanges are already on there, I just need the proper clamp.

That is a thin flange. You need one with a small apex(v width).
