That's really nothing new.
There are actually a bunch of different but similar products that have been used all over the race industry for many years. A lot of them have quick release clamps and o-rings and can hold shitloads of pressure. There are a lot of intercooler makers that have the fittings on them already for race use.
XRP and Fluid Control products both make the Adel Wiggins-type fittings, look them up and see how much simpler and more functional they are then those Python ones..

Bead your pipes and u won't need that crap.
I have never blown an intercooler pipe, and my engine has seen slightly over 20 pounds on many occasions.
It lifted the head once because of a boost controller prob, who knows how much boost it saw. And yet no pipes popped, and thats with the normal junky clamps.
Just my 2 cents.

He needs more than just a bead on the pipes ... he needs new pipes
