Durafixed charge pipes
 
3 Attachment(s)
I used durafix to put some v-bands on my intercooler this weekend and worked awesome. It doesn't look as good as if it were welded but at 30 bucks, you can't beat it. There seemed to be mixed feelings on here about whether this work or not, so I figured I would verify that it does. After I was done, I pressure tested it to 50psi and it held flawlessly. I'm gonna use it to do all my charge pipes now that I know it works.

Well. That looks great for the effort. Report back when its in use and if you are happy with the results. We may have a JB competitor.

Wow that looks pretty good!

I have a couple rods at home I've never tried. I'll have to piss around with them.

is it just butted up or does it slide into the intercooler some. if it goes inside some then im sure it will work with all of the surface area to grab on to
