For all of you guys who have messed with or changed you ic piping make sure that $hit is on there tight. I was driving in ATl traffic in the fast lane of course down shifted and what the my car fell on itself and luckily I was able to coast it over to the side of the road with out getting hit. Needless to say got out after I lost steering and everything else and what happend is my licp came off. Now the interesting part was I had the stock clamps on there and upgraded to t-bolt clamps. Well the moral of the story make sure you have the right tools in your car at all times and your clamps are extra tight, cause all I had was needle nose pliars, pliars, and screwdrivers to try and get my bumper off and fix the piping, damn that sucked!!!!

 

LOL most of us have been in this prediciment. T-Bolt Clamps are you friend

 

LOL

+1 x 1 millions x 1 millions on the t-bolts. My stock piping liked blowing apart on the track with the worm OEM clamps

 

same thing happened to me now i always have my tools with an extra set of clamps

 

Sometimes the T-bolt clamp requires the right diameter, other wise the LICP will come off regardless on how tight it is.
Best bet is to double check your clamps along with the diagram.

 

i got same sh*t happen to me.im replacing stock fmic and put new xs power fmic' i took it for a test drive' drove it for 20 minutes and hear a loud backfire .1 of the lower ic pipe tbolt clamp came loose.turn my hazzard on' no tools with me. i have to wait for the tow trck to show up.

 

It seemed kind of like 2 fast 2 furious with the electric gun thing that cuts power to the car, it just died and everything stopped working, does anybody know what size t bolts are supposed to be used?

 

it already happened to me

 

Sticky thread in Engine/Turbo/Drivetrain.

 

I had the same thing happen on the interstate after racing all day at Englishtown. Luckily Jewish santa was with me and had some tools and some clamps.

 

wow, thanks for the info....welcome to 2007/08

 

i had the uicp blow off right where it connects to the throttle body....
the car went like a max of 5 mph and i was on a busy street at the time...lol

 

I always have a set of tools in my trunk just in case of situations like this

 

Everyone should change there clamps to tbolt from napa or where ever they find them. Theres a good article on the how to section.

 

lol..youre a lil late this happens to everyone once or twice..keep tools in your car along with extra clamps...if you dont have t bolts
