Help me out with that; how would that help me keep the coupler on the TB?

weld one tab to the throttlebody, one to your IC piping. attach brace between both tabs, tighten up and bam, your pipe can never push away from the throttlebody and pop the coupler off again.

Ehh....not looking for anything permanent like that....plus it is not a straight shot down from the TB to the up pipe, needs to be a little flexability which the couplers give me.

Its not permanent, you can remove the brace any time you would like, the only thing permanently fixed is two little tabs. The brace allows a little wiggle room, its not a rigid fixture

Hmmm....hard to tell from the pics if it would work or not with my setup.

That would help a lot! I am having a hard time mentally picturing how this would work.

Here is a custom made one looks like on torbeenee's car. Not too hard to do. Just the welding stuff really. Or you could JB weld two a bolt or 2 onto the pipe itself.

The welding is the easy part if you know a couple of welders.
