Alta intake breaks

Has anybody else had there alta intake break with the clamps provided by alta. Today I took off the filter for cleaning and and the rubber had a big tear in it. I am thinking it might have happened by the rough edges of the clamp when I first put it on a tightened it. Anybody else have this problem and if so whats the warrenty for alta like?

You simply over tighten the clamp.
