Which pipe is it?

Standard or FMIC?

Pic?

If it's not a ridged pipe, then it will always occur.

If it IS a ridged pipe, then some stronger Mikalor clamps should be bought :)

That'll be why it keeps popping off dude.

No matter how strong the clip you fit, this will always keep occuring.

Remove the pipe entirely, and have a ridge welded around the end, and your problems shall hopefully cease! :)

happened to me twice when i had the glanza. they popped off when on boost and they had the ridge on all ends. strange enough i had the same set up on a gt before and never happened:homer:

but as sigma said some mikalor clamps should do the trick. that's what i'm going for in the first place next time around.
