Default Please help, What size V-band
Ive read several posts and searched many sites...... and i just dont understand. I hate to order something and not know if it will fit. so my question is what size v-band clamp do i need to go from my turbo to my downpipe. The down pipe is 4" and the turbo is pictured in the link with a tape measure. Any information would be great - Thanks, Jason

Looks like it is going to be a 4" v-band clamp.

I agree it's a 3" v-band clamp. They're measured by the size of the tubing they're welded to, or the ID Of the v-band flange.
