would the hard pipes replace this piece?  I'm gonna take a look at mine tonight.
I thought the same thing but haven't looked into it. From the top view I could see some type of goo on it. Not half as bad as the bottom. When looking from underneath the split wasn't noticed until I actually pushed on it.

Was checking out the underneath of the SHO today after some communication dtc's. Wiring looks good but the upper hose going into the turbo is 75% free and with little effort I can open up a gap wide enough to fit my fingers in. It looks like the end of this tubing is ripped.



Any suggestions, ideas, precautions?
That is exactly what they found on mine when I had to replace the front Turbo (thankfully all under warranty).  Makes me wonder if that isn't what caused the turbo to fail...
How many miles did you have at the time and was it all goo'ed up also?
About 56k on the odometer. I actually never saw it. The turbo was leaking so everything was all full of oil which is why they were replacing it. Tech found it during replacement. They didn't have the pipe in stock so I had to wait another 2 days.

It did have oil around it and in the pipe coming from CAC. I then checked the CAC to find almost 1/2" registering on the dipstick. My generic pump (worked fine on PTU) wouldn't grab any though.

All fixed, piping wrapped in insulation used in CAI and car is way more responsive to the throttle and is much smoother. The air I could here under there is gone....12.5's maybe!!!!

Thanks. This had to be like so since purchasing car in April as it had always made that weird air flow sound.

Only took it for a 10 mile spin, but IAT2 is now more responsive to speed than IAT1.

Good to hear!  Amazing the number of issues caused by something so simple!  Planning to test the 12.5's soon?  :D

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Oh yeah. Trying to match up a test and tune with decent weather. 12.66 last time and it feels alot stronger now. Dave says I need to wait for him to hit 12.4. Lol

On a side note here. When removing this pipe I was able to get to those pesky knock sensor wires no problem. Made wrapping them VERY easy.
