The OEM pin is a thin, hollow plastic piece with a small allen hex shaped key that slots into the flap to hold it in the open or closed position. The short duration hex shape experiences all of the torque on a small area, and is prone to rounding out over time. Which prevents the flap from rotating, or staying open or closed. Being made out of thin hollow plastic, the pin is prone to snapping after years of continuous use and heat cycles. Some DISAs feature a shorter plastic pin and a small metal top dowel, but experience the same failures which result in even more pieces loose inside the intake.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eLIFETIME DISAs\u003c\/em\u003e feature an\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eall metal TORX PLUS keyed pin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e that slots firmly through the\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eentire\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e duration of the flap. The improved driver and grab duration eliminate the possibility of rounding out, and the all metal corrosion resistant 6061-t6 aluminum eliminates the chance of the pin snapping. The pin was also designed as a single piece so there is no possibility of any small components loosening up and becoming free within the intake. The design is overengineered to never experience failure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLifetime DISA flap\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e is 3D printed from PAHT-CF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e which is a composite of PA12 and carbon fiber.
