how safe is intake cap?
I recently purchased the sound tube delete kit on AM, received it today and got it on. This has me thinking due to the cap being rubber, will it flex and deform over time(engine heat) with the cai suction and ultimately gets sucked in? if so what kind of damage is this going to do?

Started my car for the first time with sound tube delete. Normally cold start takes around 20 second for rpm to settle steadily and slightly under 900. But with the intake cap rpm kept bouncing up and down from 900-1k and caused exhaust to sputter. Double checked the tightening clamps it was on very tight any tighter it will rip through the rubber cap.
Decided to put my sound tube back on and rpm issue was gone.
