this happened to my stock licp a few weeks ago and i was fixing it on the side of the highway... some guy in a 300zx pulled over and offered to help me and we chatted about crappy couplers holding piping in place for a bit. pretty funny.

Well i found the other 2.75 t-bolt clamp that came with the fujita setup yesterday. Tightened it down all the way(so i thought). And as soon as i pulled onto the highway to go to work going from 2nd to 3rd, partial throttle, it popped off again. This time i tightened it to where the 2 metal humps on the bolt opposing ends touched. I guess thats what you were suposed to do to begin with. I'll see if thia fixes the problem.

Well now i think the clamps are so tight they are cracking the pipes. So now that i can actually accelerate worth a damn i have to shift at around 5k because of ful cut. or fueal cut like issues. I checked my spark plugs not too longago and i was doing more than one at a ime and noticed a small metal ring had fallen from one of the boots. Didnt no exactly which one . But i no i had to get new spark plugs now. All i could find localy was the bosch +4 platinum. ANd instead of ordering 4 new boots plus wires i had a friendwho had brand NIB Nology hotwires for cheep cheep. Picked them up now its like when ever i get on it WOB, about5k it starts to drag out like a fuel cut and basically i stop accerlerating and shift. So yall think its the wires or the plugs. As i am also untuned with Fujita intake/all pipes and Invidia DP with Greddy TB.

Did I read correctly but did you want to tow an Evo? In that case, you're lucky you saw the problem before you towed it around...

Well i was really drunk when i made that last post. I did get the car towed to my house to fix the problem but did not figure what was wrong untill i told the guy hold up a sec and let me pull of the front bumper so we dont scratch it. Thats when i saw the pipe had blown off. But just so i dont have to make a new tread, Do yall think that the fuel cut is because of the plugs or me being untuned?? Or maybe even the noology wires? I read around here that they aint worth a damn. Just wondering if anyone has actually had a good experience wth them..
