The polished billet clamps look tight. Too bad they dont have more sizes of those.

Shameless plug...

I've been buying couplers and tbolts from this website the past few times. I replaced ALL my napa clamps with these. Advantages: They use a metric 10mm bolt instead of 7/16". The bolts themselves don't appear to rust or corrode like Napa's have. I've also broken less of them.
I'm in no way affiliated or receiving deals from these guys... they just rock!
Edit:
They also sell a complete clamp kit for the evo 7/8/9: http://www.siliconeintakes.com/produ...roducts_id=311

Great link! and thanks for the all the work. It looks like I'll have to wait till they get some more in stock, and in the mean time go to napa.
I'm alittle late in converting to these, but now that I know better, its on my list. I just bought the BR racing ic and all piping. I talked to Nick and he said you would need 1 3.50 (705-1534) t-bolt clamp for the TB, 8 2.88 (705-1532) NAPA doesn't have a clamp small enough for the turbo outlet as previously stated. However the spring loaded which holds constant torque is 1.25 (705-1504).
Most of this is repetitive and I'll probably get flamed, but when looking through no one had the sizes of the racing ic (2.88).
