Once again one of my clamps slipped off my intercooler. I vote for getting better clamps than the worm gear that we have on there now, they blow! How about something like this?

When we lose a clamp off a big rig where I work, I just order them
from NAPA. Their pretty cheap in price.

Worm gears just don't suffice. You'll never see them on fully built cars. Due to cost though, you can get a handful of them for the price of one Stainless steel T bolt clamp. I have Clampco SS T bolt clamps all over my truck. Only way to go, but it will cost you a bit.

If u want to save on money NAPA sells stainless t bolt clamps for $2-3 bucks a piece.
Here's some pics and part #'s. Not sure what sizes u need. They have regular ones and spring loaded ones. Sorry they're sidewaze:thumpdown:

T-bolt clamps + hairspray = saves lives.

Ill never use a worm gear on a boosted car again, learned the hard way back in my High School days.

I just had mine pop off as I got in Tucson. Thought it was another engine. Quick fix, but those crappy clamps have to go. I think I am going to go with those style too.

no problem brotha! They're cheaper then what Trspd mentioned and of equal quality. They have the reg ones and springloaded ones both in stainless but I'm not sure what size u would need. They start at a big size.

I'll be upgrading mine as well cause the reg AFE hose clamps look like SHIT IMO:thumpdown: let us know what u get and post some pics when u get them:top:
