Silicone Bends

[i2icho]

I just installed my FMIC on the weekend

The day after the install had had two joiners blow off when under a full load, So that night i reconnected all the pipping tightend all of the clamps really tight then last night the rubber(stock)90 degree bend which runs from the passenger side of the cooler tore straight down the seam when running around about a constant 10 psi for a couple of seconds.

Has anyone had a similar problem when connecting a after market cooler to the stock hoses.

Where abouts can i get a Silicone 3'' silicone bend from and will it be any better than the stock nissan rubber bend?

do your pipes have a lip around the edge? if not I would suggest beading them to help the hose stay on.

Just have a 'lip' welded around the edge of the piping

will stop the clamp slipping off etc

it accually allready has a lip around the edge of the pipe its from Just jap if you are familiar with the kit.

its more the fact that the bend split down the middle(not sure how common it is)

Now i have to cut the front indicators farkin why cant everything just fit

is the pipe kinked....???

all that boost that is trying to get thru a tiny gap will just blow the bitch off.

i seen at supercheap 90 degree silicone bends that are heaps longer than the stock piping if i put that on its sure to stay put.*fingers crossed* since installing it on Monday i havnt even been able to boost without something F!@#ing up
