    Hose clamps...friendly reminder

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So my car made it to the dyno today and it got up to 3300 rpm and a hose popped off which in turn burned out my exhaust sensor which threw my car in limp mode. The clamps used on my Samco hose kit are weak... This is the 2nd time its happened to me since I got my Samco hoses put on. Make sure you get the right hose clamps...
