That is what I am concerned about. The coupling on the hot side of the intercooler was pretty cracked, so I have a feeling I might have to replace that one relatively soon. Luckily, the new clamps are a little wider than the screw clamps, so they are covering the cracks, so they could possibly have a good amount of life left in them.

Insted i had welds put on the ends of the pipes and my clamps infront of them. Havent blown off yet.
Yep. At $3.75 a pop, they aren't cheap. All my piping has a beaded edge, but that never stopped a loose coupling from blowing off at high boost.
