Default Anybody else's true flow XDI CAI break?

A year ago I bought this air intake and loved it. Looked good, great sound, made me feel like my jeep had more power. After about three months I noticed that the supports bracket had broken off of the canister and caused about a 1 sq in hole in the side allowing unfiltered air into the engine. I called true flow and they said that that had been happening and they would be happy to send me a new canister with an updated bracket. Three months later I got it. It had a larger weld area where the bracket connected to the canister. Last night I opened the hood to take a look and guess what... Broken again just a slightly larger hole this time. I gotta believe this is happening to others, I just want to see how many people have had this problem. If you have an XDI and haven't checked it lately I recommend taking a look.

Sounds like they need some sort of isolator on the other end, not just a bigger weld to attach it.

I guess that's also another advantage of the poly based CAIs beyond the transmission of under hood heat via the metal tubed CAIs.

Bump... Okay how about this. Does anyone have a True flow CAI that hasn't broken?
