Default Possible K&N 57-6013 FIPK Design Flaw

My AC went out this week and I was praying to God that it wasn't the compressor or the compressor clutch. I got one of those recharge kits from advance auto and recharged the system and the compressor kicked on. I was glad at first that it wasn’t the compressor, but then I was wondering why the R134A was so low. After searching I could hear a leak. I located it and found it to be on the low pressure service port line. What had happen was the clamp on my K&N intake that connects the filter to the plastic tube, after six months, rubbed a pinhole in the line. My plan of attack was to get that pinhole welded, but I called K&N to inform them of a possible design flaw just so they would be informed. However, they told me that they would pay for everything to be fixed. That line looks like a pain in the *** to replace: meaing my car would be down for a long time. So I was wondering if I should just do a quick spot weld or let them pay for it to be repaired? Regardless, I am impressed with K&N’s customer service. By the way I have the K&N 57-6013 FIPK, so any of you guys with that should watch out!

It's cool that they offered to pay for everything...I would also post this in the intake section so everyone can see it there...
