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. . .

just recieved my licp for my IX from buschur,i ordered all t-bolt clamps for it plus ones for my uicp also.never had one blow off on this car 5400k miles. But my 03 came off at the throttle body like 5x until i put a t-bolt clamp on it and never came off again

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?
