Default Help Finding 70mm Curved Exhaust Clamp

hey guys -

curious if there are sources for this clamp shown here. it's 70mm and semi curved and mounts from the header to the exhaust here - any ideas where to source one? the original FVD part is somewhere around 230 a pair.

you can see it pictured here on the header itself too:

Just search v-band clamps, maybe $20ea, you can probably find them on Amazon prime as well.


Edit: v-bands typically have a pronounced groove, your pic looks it's a slight radius?

right - it's more a slight radius or half moon type. the vband clamps have a distinct groove, normally you'd get a flange and weld it in. I almost wonder if FVD and others did this to make it more proprietary.

How critical is the width of the clamp? There are other brands with the correct diameter:

I've been trying to find the same for the M&M sold by FVD, closest I've found is this:

looks similar to what runet posted but 60mm. worth a shot for the price if they still have them for sale.
