Yeah, they have a big book of universal parts (things like exhaust clamps, terminals, pigtails and the like), my local store calls it "the big blue book" It's listed under clamps... either in the universal, or in the exhaust clamp section.. Turns out most of the NAPAs I have been to stock them, they also sell constant tension spring clamps, and a whole host of other things... they sell them for like a $1-$2 each while most of the aftermarket places sell them for $5+ each.

Ok thanks guys! So I got new clamps and rolled a bead onto the end of all my pipes, now I have a flipping check engine light pulled it and its showing bank 1 o2 sensor? Could I have fried my o2 by blowing off my charge pipe? Car seems to drive fine? Might not pull as hard but doesnt break up? Could I have.fowled a plug?

What does the code say? If it says something like insufficient flow or whatever, just drive around a bit and see if the code will go away or get it cleared to see if it'll come back on. Popping off a hose should not foul any sensor.
And yeah, it sounded like a gunshot when mine popped off too. Got T-bolts and never had that problem ever again.
