This is where i got them. They're expensive as hell, but the design and quality on them is awesome. I think I paid around $140 for (1) 3" clamp with weld on ferrules and orings.

Re: wiggins clamps? (rOby)
they are spendy, but I want teh best for my car. And I don't want my pipes popping off when I'm going down the track during an elimination round. Especially when it's Jotech in teh next lane 
It sure looks better than having fabbing up brackets to hold teh pipes together.
as for the screen name, this is the last time. I'm gonna leave this name up

WHOA!!!
I had no idea these things were that expensive!!! I knew they were pricey, but that's pretty steep!
I was thinking of using one or two on my piping connections because they are really really easy to work with(one hand install is a snap, and they NEVER come loose or leak). I didn't figure they'd be well over $100, since we have bins and bins of these things just laying around where I work(cooling system of fighter jets, they're used extensively there). There are some new type of clamps that are similar to these, but have a nylon strap coming around that hooks over one of the "fingers" that clamps it down. I think they cost over $400-500!
Oh well, just thought I'd resurrect this thread after searching and finding out that they're that much. They are ultra-pimp though, and they're fun to open and close over and over.

Re: wiggins clamps? (daveG)
haha. i figure it this way... ive put almost 60k into my car so i cant really cheap out now... and my car is a shell as we speak. over thanksgiving im stripping and shaving the firewall... mounting and bending the brake lines.... getting my wilwood front brakes (or work wheels... im torn) then painting the firewall. shaving the side moldings, etc. painting the car. the n i put the motor in and wire it up and run my fuel lines etc.
i just dont know anymore... wheels are 950 shipped... brakes are 650. but i can only get the wheels at this price once... wilwood price is constant. so i might get the wheels and just rock stock brakes for awhile.

Oh I've seen those posts too. I'll probably have my car running first.
What are the recommended o-rings to use with these things material-wise?

Re: wiggins clamps? (dornon13)
I've spent about $ 600 plus on the wiggins on the car, very expensive as hell, but it held up toi 54 psi of boost 
You can use an aluminum V-band setup, they work pretty well and cost a lot cheaper too.
The wiggins 3" is about $ 150 with ferrules and add another $ 5-10 bucks for a set of Viton o-rings..
