This would be why I don't ever recommend them .... They are cheaply made and way overpriced.

I guess the temperature change is so drastic, hot then the cold nitrous, that it just started to spider crack. It cracked in areas that wernt even near the nozzle tap. UPD has a bad quality product.

UPD is a great intake but they could improve on their quality. I have yet to one that does not crack.

The product does really have a nice design. But the quality definately needs improving.

I think I am going to run aluminized deisel exhaust tubing and have a 90 degree boot to connect it to the TB.
