same thing happen to me in about 10000 miles, i took it to nissan and they told me the same thing the it wasnt coverd because it was a aftermarket part, so i took it back to the performance shop that did it and they fixed the problem and made sure it wasnt going to happen again, the pipe that ruptured was on the driver side just forward where they had to cut for installation, you will see two little pipes the top one is the one that ruptured.

FYI I lost my A/C as well today because of this. Looks like over the last 13000 miles the intake has been eating into the line. Just to reiterate for everyone to check their intake and make sure it isn't resting on the refrigerant lines.
edit: ill get some pictures taken so you guys can see exactly what not to do.

I can't blame Stillen, if they put a discribed direction in the install manual, then anyone should be altert to this instruction. It seems like 1300 miles is the check-in period, rap those lines and then check them when the air filters need cleaning and re-oiling.
