lol thanks travis, and nope, havent blown a boot yet! 30psi and not a single issue. im sure once i get my s400 in there ill be having issues from the increased air volume. but i have beads around the ends of the pipes and tclamps so that probably helps.

Those stock orange boots won't last long when you toss the S400 on there.

The boots themselves are OK, they just don't get a good enough grip to stay on. We've had problems with blowing the whole intake spyder off the plenums. Sucks when your in the middle of an awesome donut and that thing goes flying off and you just stop dead in your tracks. The dodge guys look at you funny when that happens too. LOL

That is a really nice color, way better then the old black that they come with, and you did a great job with the bond.
