Default Exhaust band clamps

Where could I locally buy 3" band clamps that are about 3" wide, and have two bolts to tighten them down? They're the ones that thunder racing sells. I'd order one from them, but it seems crazy to pay about $20 for one band clamp after shipping. Any local auto part stores carry them?

Many autoparts stores have them but I find them to be cheap and they tend to leak. I like the Walker ones the best, they have this black goo on them that seals up the joint real good. I think I got them at Summit.

I get mine from local semi parts stores.Any place that works on big trucks should have them.I paid like $5-$6 bucks a piece for them.You might even find them at a truck stop,if you have one around.

Thanks for the help guys, I'll try napa tomorrow morning. I already checked Pepboys, O'Riellys, Autozone and a few others. If napa doesn't have them, I'll start hitting the semi places.

I know I had no choice but to order them from Jegs but I needed 5-6 of them. Wasn't too bad. 10-11 buckks for the stainless clamps.
