Default Anyone using HTS T-bolt clamps??

Hi,
I was just wondering who was using HTS T-bolt clamps? Do the 3" expand enough to use with the OBX? And all your intercooler piping?

Just wanted to make sure before I ordered
Thanks

What do you mean by Man hands?
Will it fit over normal couplers or not really?

Should..... go to there web page and print the manual they give a good brake down for the size ranges. Can even call them and they will set you up over the phone. They even offer a discount for Ls1Tech members.

yes they will fit the 3.0 outlet/inlet of the OBX. Check my pic on my install post. That's the 3.0 clamp. On HTS's website it lists the clamping range for each clamp for the 3.0 SS : Clamping Range 3.13" - 3.44"

It'll almost go to 3.5 inches which is more that enough. I have a 4 ply hump hose which is pretty beefy and it still has room a lot of room to expand if needed.

*edit* Added pic so you don't have to dig too much

it still has plenty of room as you can see. All my IC tubing is 3.0 and the in/outlets on my OBX are 3.0 as well.
