Any aftermarket 'upgrades' for this part? Rear y pipe crappy clamp simply slides right off when a bit of engine movement occurs even at lower boost.

I could warranty it but if a better part exists with better clamp would prefer that. Im guessing its failed from being on and off the car so many times.

When I had my EVO kit installed, I was told this was a problem with higher boost applications. I believe they installed a connector manufactured by Champion?? that fixes this problem.

Is that suitable to stock throttle valve ?

ah, so the exterior dimensions of the actual throttle body 'body' are the same thus the silicon hose part fits all? Just to confirm before I order. Thank you!

Contact BBIautosport they got the replacement silicone tube for IPD Y-pipe new design. I had the same problem but Betim took care of it.

The same thing happened to me after installing the WerksOne Y-Pipe... The guys at Champion sent me a new factory coupling and it's been fine ever since.

I have same problem with carbon Y-pipe on the panamera. I think they are too stiff, they should make them larger than the IPD plenum, but with a flexible hose on each end to allow for some play with engine movements. Having the entire Y-pipe rigid seems like a flawed concept. Keep the design similar to OEM, but with bigger tubes of the same material, same connectors as well.

I think the small rubber bead in the factory piece just does not like being removed even a few times, mine was fine for 24k so perhaps just have to chalk this one up to another consumable part!

Problem solved

NOTE! The IPD hose will NOT fit a stock throttle body, fits 82mm plenum + 82mm throttle body only.

This is a different part to the IPD silicone reducer for IPD Y-pipe right?
