Are charge pipes necessary?

I was online looking at a FMIC when I stumbled onto an ad for a charge pipe. It talked about all the problems with the stock plastic pipe including leaking and completely blowing off the intake. It makes sense that steel is stronger than plastic, but we're not running 40 psi race cars. Has anyone actually had a problem with this?

IMO it is not necessary unless you want to run Meth or if you like the sound of a BOV.

Necessary, no. But it's something I plan to change for increased throttle response, sound, and to prevent a failure.
