Maybe the pulley has a wobble and then hits the pipe, I don't know but clearly if the pulley was rubbing all of the time it would have already broken through the pipe after 3500 miles of this.
Secondly, the effect of the hood pushing down on the pipe could be aiding in the shifting of the tube down towards the pulley.
So, this is not some alarmist post, just check your install and keep and eye on it.
Thanks CB7 for posting this up.

No problem, not trying to start drama with Vortech, but i think the community should be well informed of all potential problems. Maybe these are all signs we need to put on smaller pulleys and up the boost!
