Default Joe Z Intake Pipe - Supplied Worm Hose Clamps Size for T-bolt Hose Clamp Substitute??

Does anyone (or Joe Z specifically) know what the exact size of the 4 supplied worm hose clamps that come with the Joe Z intake? I am looking to use T-bolt hose clamps instead and I haven't received my intake yet.

Currently the T-bolt hose clamps that I have found that are available are the following:
2.00" (51mm)
2.25" (57mm)
2.50" (64mm)
2.75" (70mm)
3.00" (76mm)
3.25" (83mm)
3.375" (86mm)
3.50" (89mm)
4.00" (102mm)

Regards,

Kyle

SeanGTS, thanks and yes I know that the intake pipe will only see a vacuum and no positive pressure. The reason I want to use T-bolt hose clamps is purely aesthetic. I hate how cheap the worm clamps look.

Thanks!

Cheap...

They are slighty better than the OEM ones...
And they are indeed Automotive grade stainless steel worm clamps..

@ fasttexasz - Thanks for the sizing

@ Joe Z - Sorry, "cheap" as in aesthetics. I just prefer the clean look of the t-bolts. I'm sure yours are very high quality. So if fasttexasz says they are marked for 84-100 mm which of the following would you recommend since you spec'ed the ones that come with the intake?
3.25" (83mm)
3.375" (86mm)
3.50" (89mm)
4.00" (102mm)

@ DCoolBeans - That's funny.
