Description
The Mishimoto MMCLAMP-VA-35 is a 3.5-inch (88.9mm) aluminum V-band clamp purpose-built for the fabricator who needs a rigid, leak-free joint between intake and intercooler piping. Unlike simple hose clamps, this V-band system pairs a strong 360-degree band with counterbored flanges and a reusable fabrication nut, so mock-up, welding, and final assembly all happen with the same hardware kit.
As part of the Mishimoto Fabrication lineup, this V-band clamp is engineered to make custom pipe work faster and more dependable. The interlocking flanges create a leak-free seal without the need for a separate gasket, while the included O-ring is designed to prevent leaks even under extreme pressure, making it well suited for intercooler and charge pipes, intakes, and turbocharger connections. Because it is a Universal fit, performance-rated component, it can be built into a wide range of custom piping setups rather than being limited to a single vehicle application. The V-band design also speeds up assembly and disassembly compared to traditional coupling methods, which is especially useful on components that need to come apart frequently for service or tuning changes.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto V-band clamp is a Universal fit fabrication component rather than a vehicle-specific part, designed to join 3.5-inch (88.9mm) diameter piping on custom intercooler, charge pipe, intake, and turbocharger setups. Because it is not tied to a specific make, model, or year, it is intended for builders and fabricators constructing or modifying piping systems around this pipe diameter, regardless of the vehicle the piping is installed on.
