My Upper IC pipe just blew off on the highway in 5th gear. The lower rubber holding it came off. Check engine light came on and I drove about 1 mile more home. Any damage...help please. If I just put it back on will it be fine?

 

you should have stopped to check on that... drivingin around with your pipes off no good for engine.

 

mine blew off on my viii once i put it back on with a new coupler cuz a shop that will go unnamed put on a new (but cut) coupler

 

had no choice, traffic. I didn't get on it.

 

driving without a pipe isnt THAT big of a deal, the car runs rich as hell, thats it. you'll be fine. Put it back on and reset the battery if a CEL came on. happy boostin!!

 

no your screwed...def blew your engine and fried the turbo...

 

hahaha very funny man.

 

Not that big of a deal...I've seen it happen tons of times at the track. Just tighten things back up and you're on your way.

 

but the coupler back on, spray some hairspray on the inside of that coupler and it'll stay on lol.

 

I would spray that coupler before putting it back on. Unless you're pushing big boost you should be fine by just cranking down the stock clamps, let me guess they were never checked before the one blew off.

 

Thats what I meant..

 

Few, its all good. Everything is fine. It scared the Jebus out of me. Heard a pop when it blew off and the turbo wasn't spooling at all. It is bolted on tight right now and it is good. It is hard as hell to reach and bolt the rubber hose behind the bumper for crying out loud.

 

Its not hard to remove the front bumper. I could do it on the highway in 10 minutes or less.

 

lol your going to be okay....that already happend to me twice already i just changed the normal claps to the T Bolt Clap...those things will for sure stay on cause the UICP kinda pulls back towards the back of the engine so its very easy for that piping to come off

 

Same thing happened to me, it will be fine. Just invest in some better clamps.
