That's the same reason I switched the clamps. They wouldn't seal all the way in a couple spots, so I took them off, cleaned the heck out of the connecting surface and put on screw-type clamps.

Then the hose must be the wrong size.

Wrong size of hose then., they will most likely swell below the clamp and begin to leak sooner than normal.

thats the sexiest xB ive ever seen ( in person 100 times more sexy i think ) but one thing, why Red accents in the engine bay, and not CF or that greenish color?

no cf or green on the engine makes the engine compartment stand alone but not take away from or get lost by the rest of the car.

lots billet and steel braided lines. the under hood the theme is red and polished aluminum

Mine are still all good. No leaks or bursts or even color fade.
