VBAND-300-CL 3.00" Stainless Steel V-Band Clamp COLUMBIA RIVER MANDREL BENDING

I am on my third one of these. For some reason the threads strip off of them.The application is typical, I am using the clamp to hold a turbo outlet pipe onto the turbine. I have to remove the outlet pipe occasionally for service, so the clamp comes on and off. Im using a high temp anti seize on the threads, but I think the quality is just lacking. I believe its a galling issue because the threads/nut materials or coatings are not playing nicely together.

Works great. Been on my car for about a month now with no issues. Paired it with the Godspeed downpipe for my MK6 GTI since the included clamp was very flimsy.

nice heavy duty 3" clamp-used for down-pipe clamp on my 6.5 diesel-much better then others of similar cost

Would be better if it came with two nuts instead of the locking one that gets hot when you tighten it
