See you later

wouldnt cause total failure on a split sytem though IIRC D has a front rear split opposed to the OE diagonalkritip said:I'd imagine the joint area would be the area that takes most of the stress, so that makes sense. It actually split the braiding itself, or did it start seeping out? Did it cause total brake failure, or just reduced effectiveness.
As mentioned it was at least lucky it happened after the test, wouldn't have been highly embarrassing if it went during lol.

What plugs are you running in this? I'm going up 1 grade on the heat rating to cope with the increased compression (BCPR7E).
