It will also generate heat and cause turbulence, because air escaping through the leak does so at high pressure (think of a small leak in a garden hose)
I have to really say the most important thing Tecnocraft can do is address the fitment issues of the pipe. Unfortunately I bought this piece quite some time ago when it was fairly new to the market and was not aware of the fitment requirements - I wouldn't have purchase the product if I had been aware of the fitment.

+1 Me either. Had I known I was gonna have to wrap the manifold as many times as I had to (approx 12 times), to get an airtight seal, I would have just gone with the Dinan Chargepipe. Design is wayyy better with the rubber accordian tubing for a tight fit. Thanks for the info Mixja. So, I was right! Airtight fit IS pretty critical. ERIC!!! Make it happen!! RUBBER ACCORDIAN TUBING FOR AN AIRTIGHT FIT!!!
