Those Stillen intakes are indeed very sturdy. I have heard of people crimping or collapsing the ends of the pipes due to improper torqueing of the T-Bolt clamps, but that is ridiculous. I would place money that he was using a battery/pneumatic impact gun when he was tightening the clamps.
I have seen minor scratches done to the pipes while installing them before, but that took some effort to damage the pipes in such a manner.
