    This isnt even about the materials breaking down, every product breaks down eventually. But cars from 30 years ago have better critical air path separation than that… how badly did they fuck up the engineering to even make it possible for housing components to get sucked into the intake?

    Oh, it probably would have cost an additional $0.45 per unit to inject the housing in a different way that provides a hard barrier between the mechanicals and air intake so it got shitcanned…
