while t-bolt clamps may look "trick", why use them on aluminum pipes, especially when there is no boost involved? I've never liked t-bolb clamps; they never seal completely, they always have a gap where the bolt is bent, and they always crush the pipe.
use some nice worm gear clamps next time.
Just my 2 cents...
As for the crushed pipes, you can easily fix it with a mandrel, like a wooden ball.
