good couplers for IC pipes??
so I was cruisin along today on my way home from checkin out some apartments, an this 07-09 Mustang GT pulls up next to me.. meh..
we end up together at a light, an he ends up takin off an flyin to the next light an my gurl's lookin at me an says, "babe wat you doin?? He jus smoked you!" wtf??
ok
we end up nex to each other at the next light, it turns green an I take off, after I'm done spinnin thru 1st an 2nd, my car jus bucks an feels like its inner child died or somethin
what ended up happenin, was the coupler on my lower Charge pipe came disconnected from my intercooler.. This has happened before(at the other location, where the pipes meet) a few times before, mostly at random times when I hit 24psi.. its happened maybe 6 times total in a year, but it's enough to bug me now.. I've replaced the clamps on em (not t-Bolt clamps, could never find any at a good price
)but I'm thinkin better couplers might help? I dunno...
I got Injen pipes btw..

Just get some t bolt clamps man. You can get them at extreme psi for like $6. Or check summit racing. Pretty cheap there. Also try putting some hair spray on the end of the pipe. I had all my intercooler piping beaded at the ends with hair some spray and t bolt clamps. Never had one pop off.
