exactly me ^^

Can anyone recommend some good couplers/clamps if I am getting an aftermarket LICP? I am thinking about going with the ETS L92 but haven't decided yet. Anything else I should pick up for that install?
You can get the AMS LIPK which has a support bracket just like factory. This one wont blow off.

Has anyone used a Wiggins clamp type setup for their pipes? I know they're really expensive. Just curious to see who has done that.

I blew mine and I wasn't even driving it hard. It was shortly after I had it put on along with some other work done by "this shop" and when it blew off I was right near the shop and coasted to it... They obviously didn't put it on strong enough, or right, but still charged me a $45 to put it back on!!!! I was pretty pissed.

I run a nisei on 24 psi, haven't had a problem as long as you have it clamped tightly

i had the ETS LICP on my car with stock clamps and never blew off and i was running about 23/24 lbs. when i traded it to my friend for his stock one(just ordered injen full kit for myself) and I guess he must of turned his boost to above 25 and it blew off many times. So IMO ETS is great with some tbolts just not at boost your car cant handle haha

First my BR licp popped off but once i tightened the stock clamps nice and tight it hasn't popped since. However, my uicp has popped off a few times in the past month or 2 lol. Gonna head up to AMS sometime soon and get their uicp, mini battery, and t-clamps for all
