They are under heavy duty clamps section in there little parts book, called either T clamps or T-bolt clamps

They have from 2 1/2 inch to 4 inch inside diameter for $2.99

 

Do we have to order these or can we pick them up at the local store? I gotta get some since the car is under the knife bigtime.

I got my 2" clamps from them, $2.30 each.

 

You can get them at the store if they are in stock, if not they are in the warehouse off of 85N.

Next day you can pick them up OR you can go to the warehouse and get them

Da-max- yeah I found them cheap as well.. but this is for that OH SHOOT I need spme T bolt clamps NOW..lol

 

oh so its one of those times, I've been there before

 

I don't know why I am having a hard time with this but I want to make sure I get the right size T-bolt clamps. The effective range of these clamps seem to be so small.

For example, my intercooler piping is 2.5" so I would think I need 2.5" T-bolt's for those connections but, for example, if I look at www.summitracing.com their application for 2.5" T-bolt clamps is a range 2.31 to 2.62. Obviously I am not going to clamp below 2.5" since that is the OD of the piping. Then add on the extra diameter because of the silicone coupler. So 2.62 may not even be wide enough to get the T-bolt over the coupler. So for summit racing's application should I go with their 2-3/4 T-bolt which has a range of 2.69 to 2.87.....then I think that I may not be able to tighten it enough since the smallest it will go is 2.69.

There is also www.partssystems.com which, for example, lists their 2.5" T-bolt with a range of 2.5''-2.81''. This seems like it would work better.

Then their is Atpturbo.com which says go with a 2.75" T-bolt for 2.5" piping

I guess I could just say F-it and go to Napa to make sure I have right size.

 

i hear you mike, thats what i think i'm going to do when i redo the install

 

yeah I got this one pipe that keeps poping loose so ill check that out monday. And ill try to rough up the out side of the pipe too. That way just maybe it will stay.

 

My experience with NAPA t-bolts, is typically needing the next size up. Ex. 2.5" pipes needing 2.75" tbolt.

Also, when I have asked for "T-Bolt clamps" they have no idea what I speak of. Ask to see the catalog of 3" pipe clamps, and just point out what you want

 

Boost hose is typically .125" thick. So, if you have a 2.5" pipe, you are going to need a clamp that will open to 2.75". Likewise, for 3" piping you need 3.25" clamps.

I have a bunch of 3.125" clamps that are useless because I can't get them over the 3" boost hose.

 

What size is the Stillen SC pipings?

 

i think that its 2.5

 

For a 2.5 inch pipe you need to go to napa and get the one has 2.75 stamped on it- they are the one I use they are like 2.80 or something.
