I've been running my setup for a few years with no issues. I had to get a new computer and my tune tweaked earlier. After a couple of passes na we activated the nitrous. The first pull went fine but needed some tuning. With the nitrous system still armed, the tuner went to start the car. It was trying but no luck. Suddenly the intake exploded and pieces covered the shop as far as 30ft away. There was also a small fire that had to be put out.
I sat there in shock but we were very lucky no one was close to the car. Soon afterwards neighboring business employees came over to see what was going on. My ears hurt for awhile afterwards.
We're not too sure what actually caused the explosion. We checked to see if the noids were leaking by but it they didn't appear to be? I had quite a bit of money in my intake as it was extrude honed and coated on the outside. My hood is pretty screwed obviously but called my painter and said he would take care of it for me if it was fixable. Unfortunately I had my video camera in my hand but wasn't filming at the time.
