how to keep BOV on aftermarket Y-Pipe - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

Hey guys
Ive had a crappy ebay y-pipe for a few years, but have had a lot of trouble recently (thanks 100F+ days) keeping the BOV hose attached to it. Its getting really annoying. I was thinking of ghetto flaring the end, but im not sure how this thing will hold up to that.

Just wanted to see if anyone had an easy fix before i go shopping for a "real" y-pipe.

Thanks!

I can't help, but I do have a DN Y Pipe I no longer need!

take some pliers and just slightly bend out the pipe in 2 or 3 places, that will stop your hose from coming off it the clamp is on good.
