It just complicates things due to all the adjustment. Its just as easy to put a few bolts in a flange than clamp up a v band. Actually, maybe easier. Although, I have a mate with an X-force full 4". His flange at the cat sticks out a lot. The v band in my Nizpro at the cat is much better for ground clearance. So maybe that's a plus. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89924-x-force-4-turbo-back/page/5/#findComment-1524462 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flanges have to be lined up perfectly to seal properly or it sounds farked.
