Default I'm sick of worm clamps

For the love of my life I hate worm clamps. Had a small accident last week (just some cosmetic damage gotta replace a few panels), and ****ing worm clamps on all of my IC/Turbo/Charge pipes got loose AGAIN.

So now my intake filter is HANGING OFF, my IC pipe is HANGING OFF, blah blah blah.

What kind of clamps can I buy to replace these sh1tty worm clamps from APS?

Does any shops here offer a package of all the clamps I need to replace everything?

Thanks I'm just hella annoyed and my friend is gone for vacation today so I can't use his lift.

heavy duty worm clamps work fine, if you do it right, napa has the 5/8 inchers for cheap. i know several high 6,7,800 hp cars running them with no problem. but T-bolts do look better.

On our SC'd Porsche 928 we use t-bolts on all pressure tubes (post SC) and worm clamps on all non-pressure tubes (pre SC) with no issues.

Turbonetics makes the best t-bolt clamps!

But really, any will work, but I've never had any issues with mine.

worm clamps designed for the marine industry are much higher quality than what you can buy in the parts store.
