Rev silicone hose clamps

My stock clamps are kind of giving up with my rev silicone inlet pipe. I want to pick up some better aftermarket ones, anybody have an idea what size do I need.
thanks

I had the same problem when my Arma intake was installed. The stock one fit perfectly and works well with my Arma intake. I would also like to reuse it, if a solution is found.

did you strip it? stock BMW hose clamps are actually really nice (stainless steel, rolled edges). The only way I can see that it came loose is if you over tightened it and stripped the threads.

no never stripped It, it still holds good just looking for better solution. I had the airbox out many times, and I can see the clamp is starting to twist.

Why not replace it with an OEM clamp? If you're done removing the air box you shouldn't have any issues moving forward.
