I was told it used a special version which I bought, cost like 115 - 125. Precision makes one I believe?

I bought a 4" v-band and flange from race part solutions. Works perfect

i just went threw this same problem for the last 2 weeks ordering vbands to match. you have to call precision! they said its a specific size vband they have special ordered. i was ticked off i had to return two different sets of vbands to summit.

yah i was told the same thing that i needed the special $130 clamp and flange but that seems extremely overpriced.

I m debating on giving one of the columbia mandrel bend clamps and flange a try.

I will admit they are a little different and it is tricky sometimes getting the two together as the flange on the exhaust housing is slightly smaller. But it does clamp down and hold my DP tight and no exhaust leaks
