If the Pineapple inserts are installed properly, it is IMPOSSIBLE for them to slide out. It can't be done. You don't only clean the sleeves and then put a drop of epoxy or locktite on the end. You also slightly nick the sleeve right where the insert ends so there is metal sticking up to insure it can't move. If you neglect this step, the sleeve could potentially move backwards. If done properly as the instructions say, they are installed forever.
see? this is why it is important to look into things for yourself and/or reason through it when you don't have firsthand knowledge - and i am just a guilty. as i said, i don't really mess with 6-ports for myself, but upon learning of the possibility of them causing failures, i condemned them and it was wrong on my part. as it turns out, i was just as big a dumbass.

I know this thread hasn't been bumped for a few months.
I installed these on my SE. It is a very high quality part and installs just like the original. I'm not sure what kind of power difference there is. My old ports were stuck and at the same time I swapped the injectors and fixed a bunch of other things.

Has anyone else installed these and had any marginal gains? A before/after dyno would be ideal..
Interested in buying a set for my car, might need to coordinate some dyno time to get real results.

The air moving thru the aux actuators is not being pushed, like in a turbo. It is under vacuum, being drawn from the rotor. So how and why would the air bump into the end of the sleeve and sit in a dead cavity?
I believe you can not measure the performance gain of this repalcement part because it has no gain. It is just as good as the stock part and performs the same way. That's why there is no quatifiable proof.
For those who claim they notice an improvement, maybe it's becasue they cleaned and lubed the sleeves or replaced their crappy old gaskets in the process.
