Default Thick band clamps??

Where can i find some nice thick band clamps? is there a particular brand that are high quality? i have some that i bought at advance auto but they are cheap and flimsy and didn't seal very well..i used to have SLP ones that were really thick and high quality, but you can't get them by themselves you have to buy the installation kit which is like 133 dollars or something crazy like that....

I think you looking for the Holy Grail AccuSeal Ones.
I just orders some 3.5" for my headers that have been leaking with the
thinner ones. You can tighten these with an impact gun.
It is what the car mfgs use. The only place I could find them was verociousmotorsports.com.
