[QUOTE="13fist, post: 1525210, member: 31010"] I think I've got it figured out. Caught it mid way to letting go. [ATTACH=full]176968[/ATTACH] It appears as that as the boot swells under pressure, it pushes the clamp off. If everything hadn't been covered in a sheet of ice and misery, I'd have dug into it more. Both the boots and the clamps were thoroughly degreased and it still works it way off. It can be either side, just right now it's happening on the driverside. Couple thoughts as I wait for fresh boots and clamps to arrive. The IDP Y-pipe is a fairly short radius, bridging across the valley, so I initially suspected out of roundness could be a likely contributor. It's also been mentioned to me that the billet plenums I have don't agree with T4's. Then I saw it mentioned on riffraff's site they have a new version that works better with T4 intakes, so that might be an actual thing. I didn't believe it until then. Feel better that I've got a direction to work on sorting it out. [/QUOTE]
