    Replacement intake manifold clamps

    Has anyone found a good replacement for the bogus OEM intake manifold clamps? A couple of the ones on my GK have reached the end of their adjustment range and I can still move them on the manifold.
    Thanks,
    Willie in TN
    Common sense has become so uncommon that I consider it a super power.

    Sounds like the rubber is compressed and you need to replace the boots, not the clamps. :shock:

      Right. OEM clamps shouldn't be bogus.

        I have the same problem with my intake tubes and they don't leak. Try going to the Mr turbo site. They have great clamps at a good price.
