Default Hard to say. I never drive it.

It hasn't gone more than 100 miles in two months. I took it out for the first time in forever yesterday and instantly blew off my IC hose, AGAIN..... So I spent the rest of the day replacing IC hose clamps. Sigh... By the time I had finished fixing the S, I had lost interest and just took out the GSX.
I would assume it is still very fast though.

Default I have samcos in stock if you want to give them a try

I can sell you the samco hoses AND the OEM RS4 lower pressure pipe. Call for pricing.

Default Hahaha, are you gonna push it across the country?

Who would have thought a $5 clamp could bring down a 400hp beast?
Give me your S4 and we have a deal.

Default Do you think it would actually make a difference?

If this double clamp doesn't work, I may not have a choice. :-/

Default Which hose(s) are you having trouble with?

if it's the lower passenger then my samco + pipe will be the best solution.
