Yeah, if it's the ones I'm thinking of (the crimped OEM hose clamps), tin snips or dremel with cut-off wheel work well.

snip snip snip (thats three snips for the three N75 lines) you'll be hard pressed to find a clamp that will go down that far so you'll be forced to either get a tool that allows you to make the crip style OEM ones or do what most people do and use zip-ties

Yea those bastards put up a fight!!! I finally got them after lots of cutting and then I finally realized that all you need to do is loosen them up a bit (and I mean barely) and just break the seal between the hose and the valve and just pull the valve right off. N75 race valve now in. Thanks guys, now I'm just trying to figure out the headlight warning thing and plopping resisters in cuz of my HIDs

I just used a flathead and slid the whole lineback a bit and the lineslid right off with a little pull. And when the vac lineis off, you can just pull them off the vac line.

well in all honesty, doesn't seem different at all, maybe a bit smoother, but we'll see when the chip goes in soon...
