jebus man. Stop torquing the things down with a 14" 3/4 drive ratchet and you'll be fine with just about any t-bolt clamp..

What pipe are you using just out of curiosity? Depending on the type of metal the pipe is made of, you can pretty easily crimp the pipe with too much clamping force which will actually cause a leak where you didn't have one to begin with. Then it's just a vicious circle of over tightening and breaking clamps in attempt to stop the boost leak around a coupling.

Over tightening them will create leaks too.

I've used the t-bolts that came with my turboxs pipe kit. nothing special about them. never had an issue.

Pull off the couplers and inspect the pipe ends near the roll and make sure the pipe is still round and not crimped.

Fine with me man, you always give good advice anyway. Don't mind at all. It's when I get beat with bad advice that I get ... edgy. That ain't you though.

That's where my buddy told me to get mine from. He's using them on his 2jz swap. Cheap and hold up good.

Thats where I bought mine for my Injen. Had issues with it blowing off with the shitty worm clamps, bought 2 T clamps from this place for 8 bucks total with shipping and never had an issue. Awesome thing is they are in colorado springs so it was overnighted pretty much
