stock charge pipes

I see a lot of s55/n55 & f30 charge pipe failures and couldn't find any for m5/m6. Are our charge pipes better built? At what boost level should I consider upgrading my CPs? Thanks in advance!

Charge pipes are fine it's the boots on either end that are the weak point. I would suggest changing the clamps and boots once running 22psi or higher.

Totaly agree with this. Had to change my clamps for sure... Here are good examples...

By the way, where can I find good longer/stronger boots/sleeves?
