exactly what i was thinking, if you want a cheap substitute contact z10, they have nice aluminum v-band clamps for a reasonable price.

There is a company called Python that has some pretty nice couplings available too. A Supra owner friend of mine uses then for coolant couplings, so they are defintely leak free.

Check these out. They work similar to wiggins, but I like them better. They work like a V-band but use an o-ring to seal between the segments which makes them perfect for intake pipes and such Much cheaper too

The only downside to those it that you have to be dead nuts on, there is no misalignment at all. Nothing can flex or move. The wiggins have like 5 degrees of misalignment.

Hmm, Im about 90% sure they were called Python. I remember seeing an ad for them in a magazine a while back. I also did a google search and came up with nothing......sorry.

they are python we have one sitting here as a sample. (guy wanted us to sell those) they are not that impressive.

The problem with the wiggins is they are an aircraft part therefore evryone suffers.

I know XRP has a simialar type but when i checked it out it didn't seem to be of the same quality. You usually can't get better then an aircraft certified part.
