T Bolt Clamps
I found them @ Napa for under $3.00
How do you think they stack up to these. But these clamps at TH.com are twice as much.

Do you think the Napa ones will be sufficient?
Here are some Refference Sites I found on these clamps.

Re: T Bolt Clamps (SIXTYdashONE)
They look pretty damn sufficient to me, id say pick up a few and see how they hold up... 
I'll let everyone know how they hold up...
As long as they hold up better then the crappy hose clamps that came with my RevHard kit. Then I'll be happy.
These suck.

You can get them cheaper through mc-mastercarr. I have been buying those, and silicone piping connections from them for awhile now. 3 ft of silicone hosing is around 30.00! The t bolt clamps are around 2.25-2.50!

I checked. They are about 2.80+ or 10 and up.

T bolts work great just not on aluminum piping. they tend to bend aluminum. I use all cheap clamps and they have never blown off on me ever. not even at 28 psi of boost.

I cant find my invoices from them. I usually find the stuff on their online site in minutes. I have a wholesale account with them, so my pricing is a little bit better than the online price.

Re: T Bolt Clamps (RyanAutry)
Look good. I would get the largest clamp that will fit and tighten it down. If you run a smaller clamp, since it's not actualy a straight shot where the bolt is, it looks like when you tighten it up, the clamp will deviate from round, bending the tube out of round also.(straight bolt, round clamp)
In the picture, do you see how the bolt, is touching the band and pushing it in?
If you bent the bolt slightly in the middle if needed, that problem would be solved.

Re: T Bolt Clamps (98Psi ITR)
Would that stop the pipe from bending?
No. It would stop the need for T Bolt clamps.

Your post came just in time, as I was just about to order some T bolt clamps for all my aluminum piping to go with my new silicone hose from turboho$e$.com. What I plan to use now are Breeze's constant torque clamps instead. I would've crushed my aluminum piping as I tend to overtorque things. This place here has the best prices on clamps that I've seen:http://www.partssystems.com/shop/cat...?section_id=28
