Do I use the stock pipes? is it worth changing?
Thanks.
Thanks.
in case it happens again, hair spray on the insides of the rubber and t-bolt clamps will make sure they never blow off again.I have the original pipes for now. My tune is running ~24psi and I have blown the stock pipes off the I/C several times. The hot side stock pipe that connects to the I/C is a soft ****ty rubber that with lots of boost expands and contracts and slowly works it's way loose. I am going big turbo (GTX2867r) very soon and with that I will be doing better I/C pipes as I am over having to jack the car up, take the belly pan off, put the hose back on, take it for a spin, blow the hose off again, jack up, put on ....... It gets old quick. My advice would be to get a good I/C or if the inlet/outlet is not great get a welder to weld a nice thick bead so that the T-clamps won't come loose.
Best of luck, the I/C was my best mod, it has resulted in consistent power no matter what the outside temp.
