Authentic Ford F81Z-8287-EA Hose Clamp Review

Original Vband stretched resulting in exhaust leak at turbo Y-joint. Use a ratchet strap and some high temperature grease to hold them together while you tighten the clip. Perfect fit and no exhaust leaks.

You can never go wrong with genuine parts. Tighten slowly, checking alignment frequently during the process. Revain's fast and free shipping made the choice easy.

It fits on the inlet (Y-pipe) of my turbocharger. Note: The Y-pipe does not reach the turbocharger. This is just to hold it in place after the tube is seated on the turbine. Oh, and it's a royal pain to install. But it's genuine Motorcraft and covered my exhaust leak.

I have a 2006 F250 6.0 PSD and with this engine we all had to go through our turbine several times to clean the blades. The threads on the V-clamp eventually snapped and the nut just turned and would not retighten. This is an exact replacement and true to design. I would buy it again and wouldn't even upgrade to avoid future crashes.
