that only happens on those cheap home depo couplers that were never ment to support the weight of steal IC piping. i had my cheapo ones blow off on me too, right next to a hot downpipe (why does it always happen on the highway?).

now im using the t-bolt clamps and NEVER had any issues with them, in almost over a year of using them. i had some of my piping welded (the stuff under the car) , but i perfer having the whole thing in easy to take apart sections. that way its easy to take apart, when you need to do some work on your car . if you get the correct clamps from day one, youll never have a problem with them

i agree with art totally.
if you use GOOD clamps and couplers, you can have 0 problems.
ive never had a coupler blow loose, or anything of the sort.
then again, i started from day one with good hightempsilicone couplers, and T-bolt clamps.
when my 3s goes in, ill be switching from aluminized steel to aluminum.. some if it will be welded, but it will still need a few couplers, cause you need to be able to get it in and out in sections, like art said.
