Do your hose clamps pop off often?

I've seen this already. But still what are the exact sizes to get. Some say 3.00" for the TB, while some say 2.75". What are the exact sizes for which part of the whole IC piping? I know alot of you guys have T-Bolts clamps, what are the sizes?

^^^ I have the same question. That page lists them for non-stock IC piping (Buschur).

What if I just have stock IC piping and want to replace them all.... what precisely would I need?

The only time that I have had a hose come off was when I didn't tighten the clamp down enough. I just use the clamps that came with my Buschur Racing intake parts. Haven't had any problems. I am fanatical about it though, always going through them, making sure they are tight. However I am going to purchase some of those t-bolts because I have they look like the work a lot better.

7051532 is the size I used on the TB. I would say it would work on the stock piping as well.

Well that's one hose. How about the rest? How about if you have Sampco hoses?

go to roadraceengineering.com and get their monster clamps. They are serioucly 2 times the size of the normal clamp. They are what I have been using for the past year with no problems whatsoever even at 26 psi...

Lol, mine used to pop off all the time, I guess its too tight to come off now I need to replace that clamp though on the TB for peace of mind.

BTW for the question earlier yes your car will die and will not start up if that hose clamp comes off.

Just had this same problem 5X over the past week! I think I was installing my new clamp too far away from the end of the hose to where it was sitting on the throttle body lip. Anyhow.. just to be safe, I am getting the clamp above that my local Napa is holding for me. THANKS for posting the clamp numbers and info.

I replaced all of mine, but you don't have to get all of them, i believe there are 10 total, the one @ the turbo is smaller though i don't remember sizes
