Finally took a pic of my car where I think it is leaking. I'm hoping to just cut off the plastic clamp and replace it if that is where it is leaking or replace the pipe if it is cracked. ...or Hot Pipes :)
Does anyone know if you can just replace that clamp after taking off the plastic band?

I'm just guessing....But I think it's a type of molded fitting that would need replaced....I would probably go hot pipes from ecopower parts....And it looks split in the pic but the oily coating is the tell tale sign for me
That molded fitting is made of foam IIRC! Need to find the proper length hose! Z
I believe its a 1.5" To 2" Straight Turbo/Intercooler/Intake Piping Coupler Reducer Silicone Hose needed!

Well I solved the problem. Just ordered a set of satin black hot pipes! :) Hopefully he has a set ready to go soon. I can't believe Ford wants $300+ with shipping for just that one pipe. Good grief. This makes the second leak (the first one was fixed under warranty) so I will be glad to get the hot pipes and not worry about any more issues...
Smart move....you might've been ok but now with the tune and more boost it won't get better and you might be chasing a problem later

Does that mean you will have a noisemaker pipe for sale?
I would maybe consider it but honestly I was planning on keeping it to go back to stock "someday" when I sell the car.

That's why I had to make them, thanks for the order! We'll get these out by next week.
