What's the best for a second gen with stock pipes and a s466. Price is no issue. What's the best. And is there. Clamp I can put an impact on and not have to worry about stripping the threads on? Thx

Big fan of BD. I blew 2 peaks boots apart and the bd has been holding fine for a long time. I also love there spring clamps.
 
I have ran BD boots on two trucks and haven't had any issues. I use a Snap On 3/8 electric impact to tighten the clamps and haven't stripped one yet.

Your not gonna find any clamps that wont strip out if you hammer on them with a impact

I have Vulcan Performance boots and have not had a problem

Since price is no issue, v-bands are the best.
 
X2 on mr bobs. I would not use Vulcan Performance. I'm glad blackcoal has good luck with them but we had TERRIBLE luck using them. I'll post pictures in the morning of what happened to vp boots on my brothers truck. The joint is wired so all the boot does is hold pressure and it would just shred vp boots. It's not that the clamp would let the boot pull off, it would literally tear the boot into pieces. Like I said, I'll post pics in the morning. We've got all the boots on a shelf at the shop to show customers. The only boots that have held up are mr bobs.

Mr. Bob's also makes a 5 ply aramid hose. He calls them his race hoses. His standard is 4 ply aramid.
