I don't really know, but 50,000 miles seems a little low, my guess would be closer to 100,000 miles,,, unless of course another hose breaks. On the other hand,,, if it does last another 100,000 miles, or even 50,000 miles, and by that time the car is 30-35 years old,,, I don't see any harm in the substandard, inferiorly modified intake. But resale value just dropped a few hundred bucks.
