Hey guys yesterday I was driving pretty crazy and my lower intercooler pipe came out I have injen pipes on my 06 MR. Its not that pretty to be under a new car and trying to fix the problem. Is there anything I can do to it so it wont come out again???

 

I hear that NAPA constant torque clamps can solve this problem.

there is the size listing.

 

T-bolt clamps

 

You broke your cherry!

 

degrease those joints real well, spray some "tackifier" like hair spray and then clamp it down with some high torque clamps www.mcmaster.com, part #5661K(11-26). T-bolts MAY introduce a slight leak under the supporting band

does the injen pipe have a rolled bead at the joint?

 

ye it does

 

I experienced the EXACT same problem on my IX w/Injen's LICP. It's obviously designed for the VIII and doesn't fit the IX because of the different turbo-outlet pipe.

I took mine to a local import shop and they extended the LICP by welding a longer piece onto the endtank side of the LICP. Now the Injen pipe actually touches the endtank on the intercooler and touches the turbo-outlet pipe as well. Clamped it w/T-Bolts as well for extra insurance...no probs since.

 

try to avoid adhesive sprays cuz when those sprays get hot, they can slide around too, and use some t-bolts and degrease that thing as best you can, the pipe and the coupling

 

yea dont worry i had the same problem with my 9 driving off the turnpike and my UICP blow off the throttle body pissed the clamps they used are **** so i just used a reg t-bolt clamp hopefully that will work till i get my custom pipes from pruven or ams intercooler piping

 

I have an evo and injen pipes and I have had problems with them popping off. I just had my LICP blow off on my way home from work the other day. I couldnt make it home cause I had no tools, so I had to pay a shop $70 to fix it and put new clamps on it, only to have it blow off 1 hr later. And the couplers suck by the way
