Pipe came off

So im driving home from the car wash today and i decide to kick my car in the ass a little. So i rip 2nd then 3rd, the car hits 22psi and then i hear a loud boom. I pulled up to my house and noticed that the cold side pipe came off from the manifold. I should have gotten the tbolt clamps. Do you guys know where i can order them if im not getting the full pipes since i already have them?

We carry the T-bolt clamps. They are the only way to go for forced induction applications. Give us a call: (425)251-0329.

Doesn't GM use proper clamps from the factory for all the LNF engines?

should be able to get those clamps at any local auto parts store, might have to goto a performance shop for it but you'll find them i'm sure.

I had the exact same thing happen with my hahn pipes.. I regret it badly since I now have a reverse dent in my hood and two nice shiny bare metal spots on those great looking pipes from the rubbing...

TBOLT is the ONLY way to go.

Tbolts. I reused them on some joints and those have never slipped. The worm type clamps I used on the others did.

I'm just happy that it was the cold side pipe so there are no dents or anything
