that only happens on those cheap home depo couplers that were never ment to support the weight of steal IC piping. i had my cheapo ones blow off on me too, right next to a hot downpipe (why does it always happen on the highway?).
now im using the t-bolt clamps and NEVER had any issues with them, in almost over a year of using them. i had some of my piping welded (the stuff under the car) , but i perfer having the whole thing in easy to take apart sections. that way its easy to take apart, when you need to do some work on your car . if you get the correct clamps from day one, youll never have a problem with them This post has been edited by lagos: Feb 9, 2006 - 5:40 PM -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
