Tbolt clamps and some hair spray will keep those charge pipes on...

Which pipe keeps blowing off?

Is there even a lip on the Dezod pipes?

Spray some hair spray on the pipe where the coupler will go, then tighten the clamp and coupler as hard as you can, works everytime.

Spray a thin layer of hairspray on the joiner in your troublesome area. Assemble the parts and wait 30 minutes for the hairspray to dry. This will make the surface sticky to hold pieces together and prevent leaks, but not strongly adhere or damage anything. Many people use hairspray on every connection - not only does it make for better connections, but it also makes pieces easier to slide together when you first apply it.

good info to know, if i run into the same problem i will likely use this. i also had a problem blowing charge piping, but then i torqued the clamps down to the point where i broke 2 of them and had to replace, so they are stupid tight .

Hairspray is the oldest trick in the tuner world for couplers/charge piping when doing turbo systems

The hairspray acts like a glue like zer0 said :D

I use Rave Ultra Hold (baby blue tall can)
works good to when i gel spike my hair too hehe

Torque those T-Bolt clamps tight. Your pushing some serious pressure those pipes.

The pipes need to be bead rolled. All the glue in the world will not keep the pipes in the couplers.

I guess just torque the provided t-bolt clamps more

I haven't used an ounce of hair spray on mine and I haven't blown a pipe yet, and we've pushed almost 12 psi.
