I was concerned about this too when I was choosing a clamp.
Many of the ones available did not look like they would expand large enough due to their design.
The way the Pypes is constructed, it looks very similar to the BMW clamp.
With the nuts loosened it expanded enough to fit, no problem. (You can see in the picture that the nuts are actually seated pretty far down the bolts once tightened.)
The other clamp on Summit that looks like it will work is the Hooker. It is cheaper and the order contains two clamps. It was out of stock when I ordered & I didn't want to wait a few days so I went with the Pypes.
