You'll need a heavy duty clamp for that ie. a wide b@st@rd with a bolt to tighten it up, not those thinner screw types, if you know what I mean. Mine blew off under 8psi of boost. Have since considerbaly upped that and since fitting the HD clamp have had no probs whatsover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to change the clamps, the standard clamps they put on them are crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're still holding up just fine. Hard to believe Ford put on such crappy quality clamps when you consider how damn cheap the better ones are.
