Do your hose clamps pop off often?

And to the original poster, when you get flashed, your hoses will pop off more because you are experiencing MORE boost over longer periods of time, more pressure than the stock hoses/clamps are designed to hold. . .

Its not like I'm heavily modified either as all I have is a custom tuned Dynoflash, so I don't know why it keeps popping off sometimes when I get into boost. Are the clamps really that bad from the factory?

FYI: 705-1532 will not work on stock hoses. VERY close but not quite. Try the next size up.. exchanging for 705-1533 tomorrow
