I bought 16 off of ebay so much cheaper for the car and extras in case down the road I wanna make the engine bay look nicer or if someone needs some locally. BUT I got a bunch of 2.5" ones when I needed 2 2" ones mainly since the pipe off the turbo is 2" and I blow that sucker off all the fuggen time.
eghey is your best bet for t bolt clamps... 7/16 deep socket is what you'll need I believe...

I've never been to a Napa store, just called them. And Chris, I didnt buy anything from them, I bought from eghey. Wrong sizes tho so I'm stuck with like 13 2.5" clamps. Ugh Cant find anyone in NEW ENGLAND that does mandrel bent pipes for some IC pipeing. Otherwise I'd just do the whole thing 2.5" pipes. Motherbishes!
