Go to a local shop you trust, Im sure they will be way less.

Is that just another "Stillen feature" or other intakes have that issue?

Other Intakes have this issue too, the Infiniti G35 had this issue with the JWT POP Charger. You just have to make sure the intake hardware is not going to rub the aluminum piping. If it's close, you need to protect the piping. As any rubbing will eat thru the soft aluminum pipe over time.

No cold air? No compressor kicking on?

Would heated tape work...(is it heat related)or the lines actually break cause of vibration...

It's not heat, it's friction. Take a look at Stillen's updated instructions. http://www.stillen.com/product_files/402852~inst.pdf
