Now back to point... Like I said earlier... if Helix OD is dependent on vacumm pump than the testing should have included vacumm pump and stress checked that.

Just like a strut and spring go together and test together for reliability. They don't just make sure strut is good and forget about the spring.

Also, if they don't have huge pockets for R&D than why they charging $850 dollar for such a product? I am assuming huge R&D cost is added there. Plus, you are basically saying if putting Helix OD in your car blow up your engine you would be okay with it. Why? Because, "they're limited on what they can test, and likely just didn't see this kind of failure in testing because they have limited sample sizing." Lol... good one.
It's $850 because it's a niche product. Low volume high development cost products are, shockingly, expensive. Many companies have significantly larger research and development budgets than testing budgets. What, do you seriously expect them to go out and buy 15 BMW's so they can test their product? Get real. If everyone followed the same mindset as you, small niche product development companies never would make it past the brainstorming stage.
