ive had intercooler pipe come off several times, cause i cant be arsed to take the bumper off to get to it to tighten properly tis almost unreachable otherwise. Always carry a 10mm socket and long screwdriver in car just incase.

Cable ties are not strong at all, jubliee clip in the bare minimum - and a proper one that doesn't eat the cable - or something specially for the job. Trouble is if you want proper pipe crimps you need the tool for it.

Wrap a piece of rubber from another (larger) pipe or leather round it, that will stop a clip from cutting into it...
