I don't recall anyone saying they did. Which everyone do you say did?

Not exactly a ton of problems reported with it on the STR, though.

As 03xtype mentioned in this thread its brittle and on the intake tube treads people want quick connectors to use the stock set. My comment is to say just pitch it and go with a length of flexible silcone tube.

Back to the post at hand I forgot to mention keeping oil out of the intercoolers as mentioned before me. The oil coat takes the efficiency away from the intercoolers as documented by the lighting guys as well. When my car goes down in a month or so for the big project to start I am going to see how bad coated the ics are.
