The factory spring hose clamp is the best clamp and in many ways better than the screw type clamp. The factory style spring clamp will keep constant pressure on the hose unlike the screw type. When the hose expands the rubber will squish out of a screw clamp and when it shrinks the clamp will no longer have the same tension as it originally had. the spring clamp from the factory will always have the same tension.

That being said the clamps look factory and not the spring type clamp
