As in it will be sucking in air after the maf, so it won't be measured... therefore it won't run. I've blown a coupler off and once almost off, and it wouldn't run unless I held it above like 4k at a steady RPM. Kinda like not having the recirc off, but wayyyyy worse.
Dont just replace the couplers...they are expensive...and thats one thing our car isn't. lol. Just check to see if the clamps are tight...and not over tightented. Because when they are over tightened, they tend to bend and let some air out when being pressurized.

Measured or not by the MAF...when an intercooler pipe blows off...your car runs rich...really rich. Especially when there isn't steady flow of air going into the intake manifold.
