Prefer the removable stainless worm clamps....as they are easier to R&R.

You basically destroy that type of clamp(one-time use) to remove it...
Plus the OEM clamps are stainless, where those are steel.
Comes down to personal preference. :O)

I used these to install my FMIC...

You have to be careful though, they clamp so hard that you can collapse the tubing. They have almost twice the clamping surface than normal clamps. The other one is a constant torque clamp, I used it to connect the intake pipe to the throttle body.

Which are the ones that AWE and every other FMIC manufacturer should include...
I used the ones that came with the kit. Big mistake. They're not strong enough. The T-bolts seem like the way to go.
