No problems with leaking.
It does quiet the engine somewhat....but doesn't really do anything for performance as far as I know.

I spent the extra $25 and got the stainless steel one from ITP...

The hose will wear out before my metal pipe will. I think you can save a few $$ if you order it directly from KCM (I got the in-tank mod and did them at the same time).

Yes, but those hoses have been known to blow apart. Why have ANOTHER $45 hose to potentially replace if you can spend $60 once?? duh!!!

Besides I figure it will last me 10 years at least. Figure that's an additional $2.50/year that I "wasted" on the crossover which equates to 21 cents a month for the next 10 years is what I didn't need to spend.
It's amazing that I'm not filing for bankruptcy next week!
I know there are other crossovers out there and they may be as good as the SS one I have. But it is worth the extra money to me to get the best I can and the KCM SS HPX pipe was at the top of my list.

QUOTE=brian42]I don't check under my hood every time I drive so the extra Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln I spent on a stainless steel pipe for my crossover to give me the peace of mind that I don't have to worry that hose eroded away and is puking all of the oil out of my $8000 engine was worth the additional .003% cost of a new engine.
