I needed a 4" clamp and I couldn't bring myself to pay 250 for an authentic wiggins, so I went ahead and got the $60 pegasus clamp.

The sleeve is a thinner material, but so far it's held up to 35 psi and just over 750 whp (mustang dyno). Came with O-rings, 2 ferrules, clamp, and sleeve.

Price seems to be alright for what they are compared to wiggins stuff I guess.
Check out lps' myspace http://www.myspace.com/linderpowersystems. Very nice quality product. Very easy to install, clean no tools needed. Tested on the lps crx. As soon as I get my new manifold built i will be rocking some of these.

Well I have 3 3" hydraflow clamps in my charge piping. Never had a problem with them coming loose, however, they are a pain to set up if you're not use to it. There are tricks to do it quickly. I run the normal size o-ring because I don't want any leakage, but I use a light coating of silicon lube so they go together easily and seal well.

These Vanjen Clamps are looking to be a very good alternative:

They are decent, I've used them a lot on my builds mainly for ease of removal and convenience.

I used it on my Camry for a while now... I think 2-3 years of usage.



The clampshell itself is weak though, so if you ever have to tug on the pipe, or accidentally put strain on the end of connection (like leaning on the pipe with one side connected), it can split the clamshell. In terms of actual function, it will never have issues regardless of what boost you run. The tolerances are decent too, so the haven't leaked or got tired/worn.

Overall, the clamp is better for removal/repeated use than the Vibrant clamps, but the Vibrant clamps are beefier and can take more stress and abuse. The Vibrant is only crappy with repeated removal/assembly.

i had the pegasus and they tended to leak, switched everything to vanjen clamps and holding up thus far.

^^if you search, you will find some information about the actual clamp of the vanjen's cracking where the "vibrant" name is lasered out, leaving little material. with repeated use of taking it on and off, i think the aluminum just fatigues and tends to crack. i have not had a problem with them leaking though.

Don't the Wiggins style clamps all use the same weld ferrules? I have 4 2.5" hydraflow clamps my buddy gave me that came off an F22 raptor from Robbins ARB and hydraflow won't tell me **** since the part number is a unique milspec is that says "F22 fuel line clamp" (looked it up myself as well). they are basically identical to standard clamps other than being titanium with a different anodizing process.

just don't want to waste money on the wrong ferrules like an idiot lol.

Weird bump, but we had problems at the track with these. Frustrating when you can't make a pass cause you're looking for a stupid ******* pin that fell out onto the asphalt cause it broke out of its housing.

I know silicone couplers/t-clamps are out of vogue around here but they never gave me an issue, lol.

Wiggins and Hydraflow use the same weld ferrules. They are completely different from the Vanjens and are not compatible.

Yea Tonys Camry makes me actually want a Camry lol.

I love you guys, I figured they were the same but wanted o confirm first. I found the ferrules and viton o rings at a fair price so I'll order them when I'm ready to start doing the piping.

There is a user on here with the name "brightside". I get all my ferrules from him. WAAAYYYY cheaper than Adel/Hydraflow and they weld a lot nicer too. Plus, he puts a receiver groove on the ferrule so tubing lines up perfect, every time.
