Just like a condom, sometimes it's going to break..
When the time comes, change it and move on..
However, I don't trust any of the aftermarket companies that currently manufacture aluminum pipe and silicone coupler, so I'll stick to OEM.. If it crack, it cracks, like whatever..

For high volume plastic injection mold is going to be much cheaper than aluminum and silicone couplers.
