You want the spring clamp style like OEM... You do not want the clamp where you turn with a screw driver/wrench to tighten/loosen. The reason you want the spring style clamp is that it allows for expansion/contraction as the engine heats up and cools down. There is a reason why the manufacturer uses what they use.

Thanks for the insight on worm clamps that totally makes sense now.

so for a 14OD tube I’d search for a D14 clamp?
mom gonna visit a Honda dealer today and ask around but thank you all for the insight. How much work is it to replace all the hoses?

Be careful which hoses you buy from Honda.

Since you have an aftermarket intake, you won't be able to use the stock breather pipe.

If you don't have the stock breather pipe...well...its no longer available from Honda. So...if you need it, you'll have to find one used or overseas.

To summarize ...the breather pipe won't work with an aftermarket intake. The stock hoses won't work without the breather pipe.

All of the above is probably unavailable anyway.

So its all moot.

The only thing you can viably buy from Honda is spring clamps for the specific hose position you're working on.

This is a popular problem, it seems lol...there's like 3ppl asking very similar questions.

I was able to buy most of the coolant lines/hoses from Majestic Honda last fall. Did not need that breather tube though so did not look there. Did not even need all the coolant hoses but thought it was wise to buy the set due to the world going on backorder But as we know, things have changed fast so may be harder to find some of them

I mean...if she's there getting her CR-V serviced anyway.... then "ma! we need the hose clamps. tell em we need em!" isn't unreasonable.
