Upper intercooler worth it?

Ive been having plenty of touble with my upper intercooler pipe popping off. I have racing clamps on it but it still wont stay on. The mods that are currently on the car are, MBC, TBE, intake, test pipe, Cobb Tunning AP. Would the gains be worth it to order a new UICP or should i just get the hose kits? I was looking at the perrin UICP just to throw it out there.

I am thinking about going with the full Perrin fmic and tubes. I have the same issue. I have turned down the boost and used nicer clamps, but the stupid thing keeps poping off

if you're looking for power gains, there are other better options

its not just power gains i want, i just dont want to have to pull of the road anymore to put the pipe back on all the time....so probably what your saying is jsut get the UICP and dont waste money on the entire kit?

look at the ETS kit. the upper ic piping from ETS fits the stock battery. most others you need to upgrade to a small mini battery kit if im correct? someone tell me different but thats what ive noticed. And Ets im sure they got blemished ones for cheaper price. GL with whatever you do hope it all works out
