I've read threads on how the IC pipes can pop off suddenly and the OEM worm clamps will eventually give out...before i bought the evo
Right now I'm almost at 1K...and pretty soon going to kiss that 4k RPM restriction goodbye :twisted:
Decided I would replace the OEM worm clamps now and save myself the heart attack scare...and so far I researched on the sizes for the t-bolt clamps
2.5" for upper pipe and intercooler
2.25" for lower pipe
2.75 for throttle body
plan to try napa or pep boys...read places like diesel trunks stores carry t-bolt clamps as well...any other places recommend that i can get them at?
also is it necessary to perform the hairspray patch since the pipes haven't popped off yet?
most importantly anybody experienced willing to help out a fellow socalevo member with this install...since i figure the lower pipes is going to involve removal of the front bumper
thanks
