I retract my previous statement. I must have confused them at first glance with the ones I received with an ultimate racing FMIC I bought 5 years ago for my CTSC setup. The hose clamps that came with were horrible, and they look the same as the ones you guys sent me.
I was able to remove the transmission tonight. Ive been following a transmission leak for some time now. I think I found the problem or perhaps another issue. The drive shaft is leaking grease out of the mating surface with the output shaft of the transmission. Their is a small hole on the end of the driveshaft and when I removed the bolts and separated the driveshaft from the transmission I was showered with grease, similar to axle grease. Any ideas why this could have happened?

Well there...nice pics! Now...you've just done two things...first you've really helped out SOS by posting these pics (and your brief overview) to show their care about the product and how it gets to the customer and also others on the forum who may be on the fence about who's kit to buy.
Nice job SOS! I look forward to demoing your kit soon!
...thanks Dustin!

Thank you for your thoughts. She got side swiped and walked away with just soreness, no blood shed. Her 2012 sentra sr is hopefully totalled, and she is looking at a FR-S now 
She LET ME take us to my parents house to open the box. Wow, the craftsmanship of the manifold and downpipe is amazing. Such a great choice to buy this kit. A nice thick head flange, super thick piping with beautiful welds. The downpipe is very nice with its custom dump tube setup. Also, as with the other boxes it was packaged very well.
