That's why I went with the Saleen tube instead.

To me it looks better, can't bend/warp/crack, and attaches securely.

Plus it will be a perfect fit if I decide to go with the Saleen supercharger [8D]

How much $$ was the Saleen tube and where did you purchase it, if I might ask??

Another reason is that, being flexible, it doesn't rub against the hood liner every time you go wot (lots of folks have that problem with their stiff C & L and JLT CAI's).

JDM and Brenspeed sell them for around $100.

So I pulled my CAI off a few days ago and noticed it started to warp a lot more at the same spot. My Carbon fiber tube is trashed. I'm going to call the company and see what they have to say. I'm guessing they will say there is nothing they can do you probably had the clamps to tight.

If they replace it I'll have it for sale since I'm using something else.

Wish me luck.
