[teh DIRT]

anyone? looked pretty ghetto to me/

[S4toSTI]

Hahahaha Trollll

[subwrxkid]

haha. So he got his fmic and he is already blowing charge pipes off. Too much boost runing through that massive vf34.

[S4toSTI]

Thats ebay for you.

[Intercooled T]

i hate when that happens. do you guys get black smoke too (from the exhaust) when it comes off?

[MuddyREX]

Thats ebay for you.

Exactly what I thought......

[jspek]

ebay ftl

perrin ftw

[Intercooled T]

nope, stock location ic's rock. they have a fmic kit for my car on ebay, like $150 including piping, it's funny lol :)

[GLHWCU]

:iagree: funny and i dont know a lot yet

[silver05bullet]

the ebay pipes in many cases do not have a lip on them, although the cores are most of the time pretty good, if the pipes have no lip on them go to muffler shop and have them put lips on them before you install them on the car

[Intercooled T]

yup, you gotta have a flare on your IC pipes, most definitely... :)

[wgknestrick]

Lips are not needed. T-Bolt clamps are however.

You can blow IC pipe couplers on any setup with enough boost.

Hydra is where it is at though, I blew one on mine and could still drive home because of the speed density fueling. Blow one on a MAF setup and you will have a heart attack (as you think your engine just let go) and then a tough time getting the coupler back on (if you don't have tools).

[teh DIRT]

haha. its fine. the pipes have lips.

T bolts clamps hold all of them on, but I must have not tightened one enough and it blew. as soon as it did I knew what happend and whipped out a wrench to fix it lol.

[WKderF]

gee pete, youre really good at tightening hose clamps the 2nd time around.
