The plastic intercooler handles 40 psi just fine.;) I have run standard 7 micro filters for 9 years and have never turned a wrench other than oil and filter changes. I have also been running dirty air through my Cummins from a couple weeks old too (K&N filter).
I guess you are lucky. There is a reason they stopped using them!
Yeah, I here that a lot but can't seen to win the lottery.:h I also use the same 7 micron filter on two 06 Cummins at work. One is well over 200,000 miles and the other is at 150,000. Have never had to turn a wrench on them either.:h My company must be lucky too.....except with their 6.0 Fords.:R

Not all 05s had the plastic inter cooler ends. Mine doesn't. I forget what month they stopped using plastic. But yes I agree something to be checked if you are going to add boost.
