where to buy 3.5" v-band

I'm looking for a 3.5" v-band flange for a Garrett slip-fit turbine hosuing. Can't seem to fidn one anywhere. I have the clamp.

I've contacted a couple garrett sellers with no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Youngs has some 3.5's that will work if i have to resort to them but i need soemthign that will fill the void in a garret slip fit housing. I can't believe more people don't need these (maybe not in 3.5 but even in 3")

cheapturbo.com has them but they're $55. These are specifically designed for the Garrett slip fit housings though.

Probably the route i'll end up going.

a v-band flange and clamp for my turbo outlet . It measures 3.11" o.d. 2.75" i.d. and the sealing face is only .185" wide where as the standard 3" v-band outlet is .370 " wide . i dubbed the outlet "narrow" b/c i don't know its appropriate name . you can see a pic of what im talking about in my thread .

I have had very good luck with this place: http://www.raceshopsupply.com/

Stay away from SPD Exhaust. I bought two 4" v-bands from them. I ordered over the phone and stated that I needed a price for 2 4" v-band clamp sets. They said ~$140. I thought that was a bit high, but didn't have a lot of time to shop around so I went with it. Turns out it was $140 PER CLAMP. To make matters worse they were severely warped and required 2 hours of fabrication labor to fix. I have pictures for anyone that is interested in seeing them.

anyone use a 3.5" v-band that uses a gasket? The gasket is a piece of tubing that has an internal diameter of 3"

I'll post pics once I disassemble
