Where can we get good clamps and adapter for intakes?

Guys, I want to buy some good clamps, to clamp down my intake. I cant remember the name, but what do you call the rubber flexible pieces, abour 3 inches long...they are universal....You get them is most kits.
I noticed mine is somewhat tearing because of teh flexing. Im sure a better one will resist better.

Thanks.

Silicone adapters is what they are called. I looked around before installing my PR intake and picked up some silver adapters to match the intake. These adapters are sold in different diameter sizes, so be prepared to know what size you'll need. I can't remember the place I bought mine from but silver was hard to come by. Look at optauto.com or nopi.com for starters.

As for the clamps, I ended up using the standard hose clamps but looked seriously and some of the fancy kind from places like Jegs or Summit Racing, like the type of clamp used on a high dollar motor. I wanted something that was good and did not look like a $2 clamp.

Frankencar sells the bolt-style clamps. Best I have seen, the type used for forced induction piping.

Hmm. I found the stuff at optauto.com by choosing "Engine", then "Air Intake Systems", then "Universal Accessories / Air Filters", then "AEM", then "AEM Connector Hose". Good luck.
