You need T-bolt clamps. Ive personally never seen them at Discount auto but id love to be proven wrong.

i did all the custom piping on my car and it turned out pretty good, (check my gallery for pics) I'm using regular hose clamps and they work just as good or better than the t clamps, the t clamps just look a whole lot better, and are a lot more money. The way I flared the ends on mine, i just grabed a pair of channel locks and bent out the ends a bit. Its holding fine and i haven't blown off a hose since i did it and I'm runnign around 21 pounds of boost.
