You just don't want to read what's being written, if it spoils your good time, do you?

I read it. I just didn't get alarmed and didn't gather enough energy to react to a "trainwreck" post
here's an idea... someone should repackage hairspray and sell it as a hose clamp performance enhancer. with a promo tool-box sized canister!

don't be giving me any ideas. It'll be all over AliExpress and Temu.
Then I'll be able to buy one of those $50,000 evos I keep hearing so much about.

Then, I reconnected the coupler back and tightened clamp with a Phillip-tip screwdriver.

Next steps: Based on my research, it is recommended to use T-Bolt hose clamp instead of the stock worm-drive clamp.

Is it recommended to replace the black flexible coupler also? If yes, what is the official name and part#? And where can I buy a stock-looking one?

Thanks in advance!

Yeah going the T bolt clamp is the way to go
