Description
The Mishimoto MMCLAMP-VS-175 is a 1.75-inch stainless steel V-band clamp built specifically for fabricators who need a rigid, repeatable pipe connection. Unlike standard hose clamps, this V-band system pairs a polished stainless clamp with matching male/female flanges and a reusable fabrication nut, letting you tack-weld, test-fit, and finalize pipe runs without wrestling with worm-gear hardware. Every clamp in this line is backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
Designed for the fabrication bay, this V-band clamp delivers a rigid and secure connection between 1.75-inch (44.45mm) pipes, making it well suited for stainless steel exhaust pipes, intercooler and charge pipes, intakes, and turbochargers. The counterbored flanges keep pipes properly aligned for easier welding, while the interlocking flange design creates a leak-free, 360-degree seal without the need for a gasket. Because it’s a quick-release V-band design, assembly and disassembly are fast, making this clamp ideal for components that need frequent removal. The polished stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion, and the self-locking nut is used for final assembly once welding is complete, so there’s no worry about the clamp working loose over time.
Vehicle Applications
This is a universal-fit fabrication component rather than a vehicle-specific part, so it is not tied to a particular make, model, or year. Instead, it’s built to work anywhere a 1.75-inch pipe connection is needed, whether you’re building custom exhaust routing, connecting intercooler and charge piping, plumbing an intake, or securing a turbocharger connection on a project vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pipe diameter does the Mishimoto MMCLAMP-VS-175 fit?
This V-band clamp is designed for 1.75-inch (44.45mm) pipe diameter, with a minimum and maximum clamp diameter of 1.75 inches.
What is included with this V-band clamp?
It includes (1) Mishimoto Stainless Steel V-Band with Clamp, (1) Reusable Fabrication Nut, (1) Self-Locking Nut, and coverage under the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
What is the fabrication nut for?
The reusable fabrication nut makes mock-up easy: you assemble the V-band clamp with the reusable nut, tack-weld your pipes in place, then disassemble for final welding. Once welding is complete, the clamp is assembled with the provided self-locking nut.
What is this V-band clamp made from?
It is made from stainless steel with a polished silver finish, which resists rust and corrosion in harsh environments.
Is this clamp vehicle-specific?
No, this is a universal-fit clamp intended for fabrication use on 1.75-inch pipe connections, such as stainless steel exhaust pipes, intercooler and charge pipes, intakes, and turbochargers, rather than a specific make or model.
What accessory is recommended for use with this clamp?
Mishimoto recommends purchasing MMICP-2259 for use with this clamp.
