TR, ls1speed, jegs, summit. just get some nice stainless steel band clamps. if you still have leaks wrap some aluminum tape around to get a thicker seal. if that still doesnt work, have the system flanged.
OT: that stoker setup sounds like its gonna be awesome
good luck wit hit

Scoobie, I don't know what type of clamps you have, but NAPA sells the 3" stainless band clamps, they are $9.99 a piece which is about $1.50 more than summit sells them for, but you don't have to pay shipping.
If you can't find them in Gulfport, I know for a fact that the Napa in D'iberville has a bunch of them.
EDIT, one more thing Scoobie, I have some of the aluminum tape that JRP is talking about at the house, I'm working right now, but if you haven't fixed the issue by the time I get in, we can get together and take care of it. I don't remember where I got the aluminum tape from, I bought it to insulate my QTEC wire.
