samething happen to me but i did not get stuck that long, i just USED A PENNY, thats right a PENNY, 1 CENT, it fit in the screw and tighted the clamp back on and i was on my way,

 

I have the stock piping and T-Bolt clamps. No problems for 3 years.

 

How many miles on your car? how much boost do you run? I've had t bolt clamps for many year w/out problem, but one day the stock piping will give up.

 

I don't think your car liked it very much when you drove it like you stole it.

 

LOL, thats putting loose change to goo use!

 

Wait a second, I tried a penny and it didn't work the slot on head of the bolt does not extend thru the entire head its set inside it with the hex around. hmmmm.....

 

24PSI, the car is rarely off boost. Hopefully, it'll keep holding. If not, we'll take alternate measures.

 

Sorry to hear that really sucks! I had that same problem with my IX, so I replaced all my factory clamps with T bolt clamps and never had that problem again.

Oh yeah BTW you should always carry a small bag of tools with you couple screw drivers and a ratchet and 10,12,and 14 mm socket, You'll never know when your gonna need them!

 

I had this happen to me after replacing the throttle body seal. I put the tbolt clamp on but I also used the stock clamp in front of the tbolt clamp. I was told the hose would balloon up and blow the hose out and I should use a clamp prior to the throttle body that way the hose doesn't balloon up.

 

How much did they offer you for your car? Just curious.

 

They offered me about 15K for it when blue book is 22-23K. Its the same 06 ssl that i started with 31.5K miles on it.

They low ball you cuz they think you are desparate to get out of the car loan. Which i guess 9 out of 10 times thats why someone is there in the first place.

The place i went also had a crazy amount of fees you had to pay. A couple of hundred in fees.

 

Vancouver Cops suck because we get VI (Vehicle Inspection) For lowered cars loud exhaust and i can't even get a Voltex front bumper with canards because sadly the canards are too sharp cops will pull me over and ticket me everytime for that s***

 

always workss

 

Exhaust, I understand that.

Lowered, maybe.

But a Voltex Bumper? They might as well tell you that you can't put anything on your car.

I'm not going to Canada.

 

Im a sheriffs deputy and I dont suck. Im actually a nice guy.

My licp blew off the turbo on the brazos river bridge when they were still constructing the highway expansion in Sugar Land late last year. For those of you who know that bridge, prior to making it wider it was not a good place to be stuck in.
