wonder how many ppl use those soft plastic coupler tighten with metal plates and screws for ur OSCAI. It is getting hotter and hotter....I wonder will it melt under extreme use?

I knew the spacer inside my L-pipe got melted when I took it out for OSCAI installation.

also, I noticed a lot of ppl use sho-vac plastic hose...anybody notice those got melted or soften?

thx

No problems yet.

One nice thing about the OSCAI is that it sits right behind one of the engine fans. I don't know if that would make a big difference, but it might help keep it from melting.
