Can anyone tell me what those linked clamps on either side of the intercooler piping coupler is? I'm guessing its supposed to ensure you don't blow two sections of piping apart. I really don't think its necessary, I'm just kind of of wondering.

 

to keep it from blowing apart. hard parker part.

 

they call those "Piping Stoppers" and Blitz makes them. I've seen them on rhdjapan.com for ~$75 bucks. The idea is that if you blow a coupler, you don't smash your pipes into your hood, which, I have done.

 

wow, that would suck. well thanks for the info!

 

Vibrant boost brace. They have to be welded on

 

nifty i guess
