Breaking SLP Blackwings
Im running a maggie and so far I have broken the neck on 2 Blackwings in the last couple of years. I dont think I am over tightening the rubber sleeve. But maybe I am. Im wondering if its from heat or maybe the motor moving under torque.
Anyone else have this problem?
What would be a good alternative to a SLP Blackwing. These things are kind of expensive to replace all the time.

What about custom making an inlet out of stainless or aluminum bends?

I'll try to take a pic and post on here. Maybe Im just over-tightening the clamp. Probably need to put it on a Dyno and see if the motor is moving from Torque. Just in case I have a bad motor mount.
