Hose clamps
The hose clamp for the boot on the air intake side is different than on the engine side. I?m wondering if there is a reason for this. I don?t see why they wouldn?t just use the same clamp unless there is a reason. On the air intake side it is the ratcheting style, on the engine side it has a flange that only lets you tighten to a certain point and stops. This clamp feels cheap and I want to replace it with a ratcheting style it is starting to bend at the flange. Any reason why I shouldn?t do this?
Picture on the left is the flanged clamp I want to replace. On the right is the ratcheting clamp
