All I can say this stuff is strong. Read my last post comparing how it was assembled/fused from the factory. What I have done is stronger. I punched each of these pieces after welding and see zero flex. It is solid.
I think the intake see most vacuum at idle. So every time it idled would be a test.
I'm thinking about mounting it onto my extra motor and riging up my air tank to it to test 20lbs of boost. lol

I searched "LS1 fast intake flex" and a few other ways of wording that on youtube last night and didn't find anything. I must be wording it wrong.

Doing some easy math lets say the surface area of the outside of the intake is 18"x6" (just guessing sitting at work), thats 108in^2. Idle vacuum is usually 7psi (50kpa) or so with a daily driver type cam, so thats 108*7=756lb trying to crush the intake.
On hard decel, manifold vacuum drops down to 20-30kpa, so 3.5psi, 180*(14.7-3.5)=1210lb.
On hard decel, manifold vacuum drops down to 20-30kpa, so 3.5psi, 180*(14.7-3.5)=1210lb.

BTW you just gave away your job description Mr Engineer....
