Re: Anyone us V-band clamps in the intercooler piping system?

I'm guessing they won't hold pressure that well. They work fine on exhaust, but you're only seeing a few psi there with a good exhaust system. The big guys use Wiggens clamps for IC piping, but that stuff is mighty spendy. Plain old hose couplers and good quality clamps seem to be the way to go. And the retaining bar comes in handy if you're blowing them off.
