Default Whoops!

Coming home from the mall, I got on the throttle hard and one of my intercooler pipes blew apart. Talk about a pain in the ***. Car wouldn't run til I got it re-attached a little. Then I had to be careful the whole way home. [:@]

Haha, why would you need pics? The pipe came out of the coupler. Upgrade to some T-bolt clamps and have some beads welded on the ends of the pipes.

But you know this already.

The pics are more of a curiousity thing. When I first read it I thought the pipe blew up.

I had a similar event at the track. Was doing a pass and the intake elbow popped off, black smoke galore!

And but then it would have gotten all sucked into the blower and ruined the fins and that would be a bad time
