Looking to keep my hotside plumbing simple and make it easier to remove and I was wondering if there was a reason these wouldn't work... http://www.jegs.com/i/Dynomax/289/33240/10002/-1?parentProductId=744706I haven't used them before so I'm looking for some opinions. I was thinking they might provide a relief point for expansion too

You would be surprised at how much pressure 8-10 lbs really is! You gotta use good v-band clamps for the pressure/hot side! Use these, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-2-5-V...sQ5fAccessoriesThey have a inner flange for positive seal. They are a bit pricey but well worth it. I paid more for the 3". $38 shipped and I used 5.

I love the clamps you posted the link for exhaust, however using them on a boosted application would be a boost leak nightmare. Even when used on exhaust the part where the band is pulled together almust always has a slight leak that you can see when you remove the clamps. Nothing you can hear or worry about on a exhaust but on a boosted motor

There are what I used: http://www.mandrel-bends.com/catalog/fla...sembly-778.htmlThe pipe slides all the way through them, which was sometimes a problem. Got all my pipe from them too, and the straight vs bends seemed to have a decent variance in the OD, so some of them fit tight, some had slop that made it harder to get a good joint.

damn i wish I knew those exsisted on ebay. I just spent more than $50 each for 6 of them on my exhaust from summit.
Almost my entire build was obtained from there. Found the best deal on a Hallman manual boost controller too.
Looks like his intercooler is the exact same one I got for $145.00. Had to flip one tank so the inlet would be at the bottom and the outlet to the top. Came with a load of clamps, 3 ply couplers and 3" polished aluminum pipe.
Same intercooler lol The only gripe I had about it is it only came with one 90 and one 45 couplers...I need two of each
