Hmm, now that's unexpected.... 
On mine the sound-dampening blanket of the hood is rubbing the samco hose right in that spot...maybe has something to do with it? |

yea ive seen this as well, but this is on the driver side, the one thats sits by the fuse box and alt..... has anybodys elses failed? I had forgot untill I put the stock hose back on, that the stock one has a "sock" around it at this same point. Is everyone else running this hose with or with out the braided "sock"? |

hmm, that is interesting i will pass that along to mark @ samco. That is the drivers side hose, and if memory serves there is nothing remotely close to rubbing that on the bottom side. |

darn! That looks like something sharp got on it. There is alot of material for a Samco hose to fail. Not impossible. |

I seem to recall someone posting that the Samco balloons out quite a bit when under boost. |

That's either a materials failure or possibly from an overboost. |

You can see the the hose is dented inward and was resting against something sharp. Virbration from engine rubbed a hole in it. Installer error, no warrenty. |

You can see the jagged sides and tapered ends clearly. Hose failure. |

TOUGH call this,would think they would have too look at it to replace too see if covered under warranty,maybe take it too a place that repair rads and hoses and ask them to report for you before you send to samco |

I too was worried about the rubbing (that's what caused a brake line to fail on me last year) so I wrapped the upper hose in this Hose Sleeving, Magna-Braid, Stainless Steel, 6 ft., 2 in. Minimum Diameter, 2 1/2 in. Maximum Diameter, Each http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=SPE%2D6008B&N=700+0&autoview=sku Took a whole lot of hand soap to get such a large braided sleeve past all those bends but it looks pretty bulletproof now. |

Samco has been contacted and is investigating the cause of the failure. |

my oem hose rubbed and the mesh cover melted in the exact same place, second oem hose doesn't tough the insulation on the hood and has had no problems at all. |

It's a tough call but I would lean towards failure and not installer error do to the fact that the tear is not "clean" like a puncture. It has more of a tearing look to it |

It could of tear after a puncture making the hole bigger. Once the air start rushing through a hole, it won;t take long to rip it. Well lets hope Samco replace it it anyway so all here can feel better. |

True, but from what I can see it isn't a clean cut. Now If we were able to see a better picture of the problem, them maybe we could decide. |
