What kind of clamps are you using for your IC piping?
Do you think these are overkill?
To me they feel too heavy and chunky. This is goign against my strategy to stay light.
Wondering if there are other types easily available to buy around Sydney.

Re: Intercooler piping clamps
I have some like this

Meant to be good but I think my pipe work was between the 2 sizes so not sure if they're tight enough.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Regular (quality) worm drive clamps work just fine for most people, however the ones you have will absolutely work without any trouble ever, insurance if you will.

These ones looks much more suitable for my application. Will see if I can find something similar in Sydney. Will be attempting to install the IC this weekend.
