ok, I have an exhaust hose (I think it's called a heater hose, anyway...) that keeps popping off a metal fitting that leads to the catalytic converter. When it pops off, my car starts to sound like a harley davidson... putt putt putt and it's really loud when WOT. I've tried two different rubber hoses (both which were 8$ ****ing dollars each at autozone) and numerous different clamps, and to no avail. Everytime I redline, the hose pops off, and after awhile the hose begins to rips which leads me to replace it once again.
I'll try and explain what hose it is or if you're too lazy, just look at the pics below...if you look at the stock airbox, there are two tubes that come out of it. One wraps around the engine bay into the intake manifold, this is the actual air intake. The other goes into a MAF sensor (I think) and is a rubber hose. From the MAF sensor is the rubber hose that leads to the catalytic converter and this is the hose that needs to be fixed.
edit: If anyone knows the part number or how to fix, please let me know. This rubber hose crap isn't working.
oh btw, I have an 1992 coupe
