How much PSI will a fast intake take?

if you dont have one, dont buy one, by the time your making big boost you wouldve probably switched to a victor jr, or you wouldnt even notice any hurt in performance if you have an LS6

I have rtv on my seals, and it's held up to 15 psi. And my burst panel worked the time I had a major manifold backfire. They are rated at 60-70lbs or something like that so they won't have nuisance failures.

Who has actually seen one break under boost?

Mine held 17psi last year.

I've seen one break at 20psi.
