LICP intall gone wrong
I figured this would be an easy install but it's taking quite some time and I keep having issues.
Anyway, this is an Ebay IC pipe which I figured would be fine since it's just a U bend and a another simple bend. I used to coupling and band clamps it came with.
first time i hit boot at almost WOT, a coupling popped off and the band went flying somewhere.
This is what i ordered
http://www.ebay.com/itm/130547383159...84.m1439.l2649
anyways, it does not come with couplings as pictured, the one going into the car does not reduce into a smaller diameter.
Question 1: where can I find a good coupler that reduces from the IC pipe to the pipe that goes into car?
Question 2, should I just keep using the band clamps?

That is what I would suggest, quality clamps and couplers. Perfect fitment, and NOT eBay.

That happened to me a couple times and the car couldn't even move 5 feet. Just buy some quality T-bolt clamps and get a bracket welded to the pipe at the intercooler n bolt to one of the stock mounting points to keep it in place. Make sure the clamps are tightened well also!
