Stock IC PIPE Blowing off? fix?
Hi recently me and a friend have had issues with our top IC pipe poping off from the manifold at top boost and wot.. but we have no other mods or anything then our other 4 guys we run around with and those 4 have never had this issue is thier a quick fix for this like a dif clamp or something or is it ok for me to WRENCH the stop clamp down really good without hurting the tube?
i know i could probly get a new IC pipe kit or something like that and i plan to eventually but i would like a fix for now if possible thanks

I am going to put a 3 inch t-bolt on my car tomorrow...and then I will turn the boost back up and see what happens. I will post up tomorrow.
I will soon be buying the Injen intake system that comes with that upper pipe to avoid these issues in the future....
Here is my post from earlier...so you can read other's responses...

I had mine pop off once so I just tightened the clamp down a little harder and havent had the problem since. I guess its not a bad idea to get better clamps of course, but the fix worked for me.

If you have this problem continually happen, and need to get it fixed for some time until you can get T-bolt clamps on it.. Use hair spray, Aquanet has a very weak mixture of a plastic in it that is soluable, however if you spray it on the end of the metal pipe where the hose and clamp go, when the carrier (alcohol/spray) evaporates out, it acts as a mild adhesive that will prevent the hose from moving when its clamped down..
Keep in mind its a temporary fix, but should work well enough for a short time if you find your hoses pop off fequently.

Hopefully you didn't order a 3 inch clamp...we just tried to put one on my car and it is too big...but the 2 1/2 is too small to fit over the hose
Hopefully somewhere they sell a 2 and 3/4 clamp...I am getting my injen intake tonight so hopefully that will hold Good luck!
