If you put a little bit of hair spray on the boot when you install it, it will help the boot stick to the IC pipe and make it a little harder to blow off.

Spray the inside of the boots with the cheapest hair spray you can find to help the boots stick to the pipes

Congrats Mike for the install and the good deal you got there (free), I want to see the pics after paint.

BTW if the boots continue blowing off, you need like a ring wire welded at the end of each pipe.

Actually, the hairspray that was mentioned is merely to help the guy working on the truck in his attempt to look like he knows what he's doing. Nice hair= nice truck, right?

Finally got some good clamps. Before the IC at 70-75 EGT's would sit around 700 now I'm at 550-600. All this is in my 100hp setting.
