   im using 2.5" pipe work on my car
   
   a mate of mine has a samco 68mm 90 degree bend and the measurement i want is 63mm is 5mm a big gap to close up or do you think a hose clamp would clamp it fine on a 2.5" pipe?

   biggest cause of people blowing boost pipes off:
   
   1 - ill fitting hoses
   2 - cheap hose clips
   
   buy the correct parts for the job, simple as.
