Spraying with the LSX Im switching over to the LSX intake, and to me, it just doesn't look to stable for the spray. Any kind of precautions I should take before my first bit of juice runs through it?

The say the intake is stronger then the oem but still looks like a plastic part. Take it apart and see the thing is glue together. I know the offer blow discs for it. Seems like double talk, the intake is stronger then plastic, but here we sell blow off disc to protect it.

It's alot stronger then OEM, but like any part that is still made of composite material it can be destroyed with a nitrous backfire. I have seen a few of the OEM's shattered into several pieces. What's cool about the burst panel is that it will save a very expensive intake from suffering the same fate.
I'm sure you can agree that almost any intake can be damaged from a nitrous backfire. Ever seen people's hood fly off from one?

Just because a manifold is strong doesn't mean it won't blow to pieces during a nitrous backfire. You ever see a REALLY bad nitrous backfire? I've seen sheet-metal intake manifolds absolutely torn apart by one. It was brutal. Imagine what that kind of backfire would do to a plastic intake manifold. Not pretty. The burst panels are a very good investment.
