Angry Damn licp! Help

So yesterday i installed a Injen Intake w/ upper and lower icp and an AMS fmic.. The damn licp keeps blowing out every time, it comes off the intercooler outlet pipe... Ive tried tightening it so many times and tried to push the pipe in even more and nothing. I installed even a samco hose and got rid of the stock one and still.. What are u all doing to keep the damn pipe from comming off? The damn thing blew off at 3am on the highway last night on my way home

I stopped by NAPA and they have (I believe they are called) constant pressure clamps. They look like a clamp with 3-4 washers on them near the bolt. Of course there is always T-bolt clamps. I installed a LICP and had issues and installed the constant pressure clamps- no problem since.

Better couplings and get some tbolt clamps. Also i just read a couple days ago some guys are using hair spray on the couplings. I haven't done this myself but i used to use hair spray on my bicycle and quad grips and it worked great for that.

I blew off my LICP on a busy freeway and was cussing the whole time I was fixing it on the side of the lane. I swore I never wanted to do that again, ever. Since I've added hairspray and t-bolt clamps, I've never had that problem again.
