^ WOW thats a massive intercooler. On the screw clamps it all depends on what kind u get, if u get the cheap ones they wont last, but if u spend extra they hold beter, but still not as good as T-clamps

Thanks for whoring out my thread with pics we have all seen a million times. 
Anyways, I have blown off my intercooler pipes about a dozen times, so I think they are pretty necessary to prevent any future reocurrances. They slip off even with the bead rolls at the end of the pipes.

Whatever guys. I just wanted to show that it can be done. And I was asked to show it with the bumper back on. Just because you have seen it a million times, doesn't mean EVERYONE has. 
BTW... Knightrider was a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, not a 1995 Pontiac Firebird Formula.
I don't even know why I bother with this site.
BTW... painting the intercooler defeats the point.
