same thing that happened to mine at 110k. don't waste your time pressure testing it, it's busted. Just go ahead and save some time and order a new one now.

Mine failed in spectacular fashion last summer. '03 with about 120k at the time.

Chad at CBRD came to the rescue in less than 24 hours to get me back on the road. Zero problems since.

My went at `100k and 10 years, so they last a minute. I went with a Mishimoto full width, with the pipe coming out of the center like the stock unit couldn't be happier, and it wasn't even that expensive.
