as stated, your worm-screw clamps sound broken. Here's a great link to a full set of t-bolt clamps that I purchased. It was originally sourced off these forums too.

T-clamps and some hair spray should solve your problem.

Also be sure to clean and prep the surface first by removing any residue or oil before you apply hair spray.

 

I know this is no help butttt. For those of us that have had an IC pipe blow off its enough of a noise to make a grown man cry while ****ting his pants. My upper blew off on a nice boost pull and i sat on the side of the road looking at the car terrified to open the hood.. lol

 

hahaha! I'm sure it was terrifying. Thankfully, not all too harmful.

 

Yeah my heart sank, i thought I blew my turbo or engine. I limped it a couple miles at 20mph so i knew there was still some sort of hope. It was a horrible feeling though.


Thanks for all the input. I wasnt sure what the diamater of the injen piping was or if they were all the same. thank you everyone ill go and get the parts i need.

 

Some of the responses made me .
Tightening an intake enough to crush it? There's no pressure in the intake pipe! Just has to be snug.
Stock mesh couplers make you lose power because they expand? You may lose a little throttle response, but that's it. Hell, half the stock UICP is that stuff!

 

Get a bulk pack of 2.5" t-bolt clamps from ebay for 30 shipped. I will never run out. Some people double up worm clamps with hair spray, but why do that.

 

i just orderd this stuff, its 2.5 silicone hose ID you can get the bad *** Tension tight Tclamps that are 2 3/8 - 2 3/4 for it tighten to 70In pounds.They look similar to the ones shown but have a Large spring on them that lay positive tention to them so they never loosen with vibration, overkill? yea but im a engineer so no such thing to me LOL. I orderd thru a place i use for work and i got the whole silicone pipe and a bunch of Tclamps for under $50 Ive also considerd Replacing most of the pipe [Injen crap] with the Silicone hose that is reinforced [it would make less connections this way] the wire Reinforced Silicone hose hold more pressure and wont expand at all, also it wont kink as easy as the regular silicone hose. I actualy shopped around for the hose and found it to BE WAY to expensive from everywhere else [$100 bucks for some elbows REALLY?] from where i got it from @$15 bucks a foot and it was deliverd within 24 hours free.

 

I still have the stock mesh ones on. I have blown my LICP off twice after the install. Just gotta check them every now and then.

Blown gasket could you hook me up with where you got the couplers? I have the Injen couplers as well that came with the kit.

 

Just remember, if the screw keeps spinning she's not a virgin.

 

Where In norcal Are you? I dont mind helping you out.. PM me if you still need help

look for the cajun power evo t-bolt clamp kit. it comes with everything!

 

That's the set I got (and linked). Worked well

 

Or get the pack already thrown together for the evo with all the clamps he needs as linked above for 30.00...

 

2.5 Didnt even fit. 2.75 barely fit.
