Watch out before you start pointing fingers. I agree the one situation in one of these threads is fishy, but this is not an isolated case, others have blown, but there is no info on those either.
How was he promoting his product, I haven't read anything about the BD manifold in these threads.

However, if a BD product blew up at their dyno event, I doubt he would have been on here saying "look what blew up today."
I apologize if I offended anyone with my comments.

That's why I still question these ordeals. It would cause alot of issues for FastCore CFM+ to release a horn with ports for nitrous/meth etc if it couldn't hold the boost. That's why i'm not getting all worked up about it.

a friend who works at a truck performance/off road shop near me told me that cfm+ claims that their manifold is a 'stock' replacement part. if that's the case, they may take no responsibility for higher than stock boost pressure, but the ports certainly don't say 'stock' to me.

Exactly, and I don't think they would make them 2 completely different horns, I think they just added the ports.

Bob,
After seeing both the CFM and the AFE I opted for the CFM due to the quality of workmanship over the AFE unit. So far this unit has worked awesome. I believe more details are needed to determine why there have been failures. Composit materials are the way of the future. New aircraft are being built using composits over other materials due to better strength, corrosion inhabition, and weight savings!

sorry to say it but that would take alot more than 60 psi to blow that plastic apart like that i used to work in a factory as a process engineer making thermoplastics. it would take more than 60psi to blow the intake apart like whats in the picture. also if you look at the fracture that is an instant spike in pressure (like a NX backfire) which caused an explosion of the intake (look at the bolt in part the section is curled over). a ramp up to a pressure would only cause the intake to expand until it caused a crack which would leak off the pressure.
