NEED HELP ASAP. So my motor is almost out. HAS ANYONE TORN A HOSE OTHER THAN TBB AND F-HOSE? ..m..

The reason I ask is because my dealer hasn't had anyone tear any hose other than tbb and f. So has anyone torn others and were chipped etc... The reason I ask is because if not to many people have torn other hoses, I'm thinking I should just go with APR's Bi-Pipe. Please add your $.02 TIA

The tear was right under the clamps on the right side bpv. I suspect I may have over-tightened
that clamp when I inspected by stock bosch valves.

The new boot installed...
