S55 Charge Pipes?

I see a lot of N55 folks talk about replacing the factory charge pipe b/c it fails.

I haven't see much of the same for the S55. It is any issue too being plastic and becoming brittle over time b/c of the heat?

I replaced mine when I had my car got a Stg 2 BM3 tune. What I've seen on these boards is the charge pipes are more prone to failing when you run additional boost.

The S55 charge pipes have a high failure rate as well. it will fail with a higher boost
