Common mod is to upgrade it to something made out of metal. Bunch of companies make them, I personally run one from FTP.

What year is your car and how many miles do you have on it?

I have heard about the filter pipe cracking but not the charge pipe.
My car is relatively new as it has approximately 19.5K miles and it's a 9/17 so it's also still under warranty and everything, hence why I won't change the charge pipe to an aftermarket one (if it wasn't I would, but as charge pipes do void the warranty here I won't).
I can assume the high temperatures here do affect all the plastic parts, it can get up to 106 Fahrenheit (41 Celsius) and in the south even up to 114.8 Fahrenheit (46 Celsius) in peek summer (maybe a bit higher lol but I'm not sure it's crazy hot).
