So I want to get some better clamps all around for the boost tubes. Found a place that sells Stainless Constant-Torque clamps which are recommended for air-to-air and silicone applications as well. They are cheap enough that its a "why-not" mod to me to make sure everything is sealed nicely.

Question is, what is the Outer Diameter for the following, so we could get the right clamps:

- Stock Front Boost Tube
- Stock Rear Boost Tube
- Stock Recirculation Hose
 
Ok, well this post didn't help much with getting the info so I called StreeetUnit for some clarity. The said they use 3.5" and 3" clamps for the boost tubes they sell. I went ahead and ordered the following (yay for less chance of boost leaks and knock):

- (2) 3.5" Full Stainless Constant-Torque Clamps (Boost Tube)
- (2) 3" Full Stainless Constant-Torque Clamps (Boost Tube)
- (2) 2" Full Stainless Constant-Torque Clamps (Recirculation Tube)
- (4) Denso ITV22 Spark Plugs

Going to have a quicko install session when it all shows up. After that, its Cobb SF Intake and Stage 1+ v1.03 AP map time. :)
