thats a old post, I tried the vband kit, I hated it, so I went back to original setup. now I know why the army call them the bitch clamp, they are a bitch to work with.

So I am assuming that its not worth going to. I thought it would be easier to use since its easier to just clamp it on and tighten etc...

in My opinion its not worth it, it was more work, and if you dont have it lined up exactly, it wont fit and will leak, and you usually have to change the clamps after so many remove and installs. I get them for free, but still its a waste. plus when ever I remove my turbo I usually remove it completely assembled, manifold,turbo, and downpipe. so there was no need for quick disconnects. I some extra clamps.

If fitment is done with very close tolerances I think they are pretty sweet. My next downpipe will be a vband.
