I have an S13 with an S14 turbo. What hot pipe should I have, a 13 or 14? Is there any difference? I ask because the s13 hp keeps popping off (like every other month under heavy load) and I want to know if I just need to tighten it on better or it isn't designed to fit the same. Thanks for the help.

If it lines up with the rest of your piping fine, I'd say you just need a better clamp. Spend a few dollars and buy some nice spring clamps rather than using those ****ty gear type clamps.

Don't change the hotpipe, change the clamp ... it's prolly worn.

get some marine grade clamps.. .they are about 7.50 each i think but totally worth it.. NEVER will you pop off another intercooler pipe under load. they are bad***, no doubt

o.k. I've been to Lowes, Home depot, and autozone and none of them carry any other clamps but the screw-tight kind. Any other suggestions for places to go (Chain brand store)?

well my guys at Ter-Tech in west palm beach can get you some of those marine grade clamps i was telling you about.. don't quote me on the 7.50, but in any case they are definitely worth it... give them a call at 561-588-4484 and tell them Quang sent you(rhymes with sang) ask to talk to harri

btw he has those clamps on his 5 series Turbo BMW pushin like 400+hp @like 30psi and has not blown off any pipes yet with those clamps

You want t-bolt clamps. I've yet to find a chain type store that carries them. Check out http://www.turbohoses.com
