if the T-bolt clamps aren't considered a "higher performance alternative" then why bother putting them on?

I wouldn't argue that it is a safety OR performance issue. The worm gear clamps hold just fine for stock boost levels. They are a pain in the *** to remove and replace often because they break. What then, do you have to go by "mitsubishi" clamps?
Since the point of the clamp is to hold as tight as possible, I would still say they are legal under the nuts/bolts rules. Of course everyone is entitled to a different interpretation.
I say this even though I use the stock wormgear clamps.

... Having a hose pop off during a run and losing the run when you have no control of the issue is different.Ultimately Silencer has already clarified this issue in the past via email. I remember reading about it.
Plus anyone who is even thinking about protesting this is the biggest wiennie EVA!

Would you consider these a "higher performance alternative"? If not, why bother putting them in the rules.
Could it be for the reason of safety?, no way.
