As the men ahead me have said, that is the correct part. When I bought my truck, I saw that clamp and thought to myself, well I guess that will be the first part I replace. Turns out that it was doing just fine and that there were v grooves mounted to the clamp band. From that point on, I knew it was right. Although, I have thought about trying to see if the T-clamp style for the collector and down pipe would fit, it would certainly look better up there.

Ummm... yeah. I would be one of those guys. I then had to buy the AFE intake because I couldn't find a stock version locally in time for a camping trip AND the dealer wants an incredible amount of money for it...
In my case, I wasn't trying to improve on the stock clamping I had a brain fart and reversed the order of the clamps.

Yep to being in the change the worm gear plumbers clamp to t clamp type and crack the spider/X pipe club.
Don't do it. The spider/x pipe is hard to find unless you want to buy an upgrade at more $.
The stealership sold me the T type clamp. That's what's shown in the book. Older worm gear type obsolete. I reinstalled my old one and no problem after finding a spider at a recycler. $80 as I recall.
Need to find a source for a spare of the worm gear type.
