I see you have worm gear clamps on your hot pipe connections. You may want to consider replacing them with T-bolt clamps, might save you from a dent in your hood, should that come apart at the hose connections. Looks

Somebody else here put the worm gear clamps on theirs and ended up with a dent in their hood but I don't remember who. Safer with the T-bolts. Like the SS badges on the wheels too!

Funny I had the opposite problem. Had the clamps pop off at the IC w/ t-bolt clamps, went back to the stock IC piping (for now) no problems, weird. Nice mods by the way!

I know your right. The T-bolt clamp I had on the hot side @ IC was leaking boost. It was drawn down all the way. I had to go to the turbo shop and purchase another one the next size smaller. Silicone coupler did side over the IC too easy, so it is a little smaller. New clamp fixed it though, no more leak.
