Default anyone else have there plastic ati plenum explode??

Yep just as the title says, my plastic plenum box exploded on me sat, at only 3 lbs of boost. I was leaving a party at a friends house (local Fbod party) set the line lock and did a burnout as I was leaving, almost blew the whole top off the damn airbox. I'll get some pics up soon. Bos still want to sell your metal one???

I remember reading a thread awhile back about someone's blowing up around 9-10 psi or so. Someone else also posted up about how much it would expand when revving the motor. I'll take a look.

Found it. https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-induction/165010-ati-plastic-air-box-maxed-out.html
