Cajun - Thanks for putting the shopping list together!
I've taken my UICP on and off so many times now that the worm gear based clamp is a mess.... May as well do them all while i'm at it.

Hey replaced my clamps last weekend and the throttle body definitely requires a larger clamp...I used NAPAs Tbolt for a 3" pipe and it was probably 0.5" too small ....Have any of you experienced the same problem?

I bought t-bolt clamps from several different vendors and found the ones from Siliconintakes.com to be the best quality. All stainless steel construction, and the bridge piece is very strong. Their clamps use metric nuts which is nice. Their 2.5" clamp works with all the main IC piping. There is a fairly large amount of exposed thread when snugged down. I used a dremel tool to cut off some of the excess thread. The 2.75" clamp fits the throttle body connection. I didn't bother with the smaller diameter connections because I didn't feel that t-bolt clamps were needed there.

i have t-bolt clamps on my u and licp,s.You dont have to remove the front bumper to get to any of them at all. Its just a waste of time taking the bumper off. All you have to do is remove the undertray.
