For his given problem, yes that was dumb. But for something else, like my license plate bulb going out or an oil change, I leave all my mods in. . .

If it was from the down pipes, it wouldn't have been this severe because it would be after the turbos..so it would just get blown further into the exhaust, probably be melted somewhere between the down pipes and catback.

Shiv stated that he talked to the owner of the blown car and since it happened right after the installation of the CAI...meaning that he installed it, drove down the street, and boom..damage was done, it was due to a peanut that was stuck somewhere in the CAI getting sucked into the rear turbo, which is pretty much a straight shot, no bends or anything.

I'll TTYL, I got to school early today so I'm at the library killing time.

To kinda put your mind at ease, I know 2 people who are on the PROcede and rape their cars daily..one is at 35k miles and the other is at 48k miles, no problem except fuel pump for the 48k miles dude.
