QUOTE(angrymike @ Apr 20, 2007 - 10:05 PM) [snapback]548973[/snapback] the more couplers, the more prone to having issues with pipes blowing off. not to mention spending an arm and a leg for the couplers and clamps. couplers work, however welding is a lot better. thats all a matter of opinion. i like t-bolts over welding everything. i have never had a single pipe blow off with t-bolts and its very handy to have everything come apart in sections when you have to work on the car. couplers also allow the piping to move and flex as the engine torques in the bay. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
