I have a TBB idea....
It's a Home Depot mod.
Instead of a Y-shaped TBB why not have a hose come straight out (think rubber plumbing adapter or shortened IC hose.) Then pick up a 2" diameter PVC "T" pipe that has the divider in the middle. The bi-pipes can be fitted from PVC or something else and either be cemented into the T or use rubber adapters. The T can have 45-degree adapters cemented to it that direct down towards the ICs.
... you get the idea. It could just work and be do-able for under $20.
The reason the TBBs stretch and break is because they're handling stress in multiple directions. It's kind of silly to engineer a part with those kinds of stresses on it. So why don't we alter the type of parts used?

SIR, please put down the AW, paranoia has set in full force...
...Piggie Clamps avoid just that, they are rolled edges that prevent/ minimize the clamp from cutting into the TBB. So you can tighten the TBB tighter. :-)

Even Hoppen will be discontinuing their $400 MTM TBB for this thing b/c it holds up better. I heard price should be around $200.00<ul><li><a href="http://www.turbohoses.com/index.html">G-Werke TBB</a></li></ul>
