Stillen Gen 3 Intake ate through my A/C Pipe...

Does anyone have any issues similar to mine?

I visited my dealer because my air conditioning stopped working.

5 days ago, the sun was up high so I turned on my A/C and it started making weird noises.

After few minutes, the noise was gone and I noticed the air was bit warm.

The next day, I figured the A/C stopped working so I booked a reservation to check what the problem is.

The dealer says that my aftermarket intake was 'rubbing' the A/C high/low pressure pipe and eventually ate through the pipe....

They are charging me 650 for labor and 80 for parts (A/C pipes)

It's not under warranty since the aftermarket intakes caused the problem.

To fix the problem a rubber should be wrapped around the intake (Passenger side) and gasket has to be placed so that the intake will never harm the A/C pipes

Does anyone have similar problem like mine?
