Z1 Cold Air Intake

At the moment the silicone tubes are bending a little through the holes. I am considering going back and cutting the holes to eliminate the bend.

I would. You have to remember the motor rocks a good bit. Every time you hit WOT and the motor rocks back and those tubes are being crushed in there, you're pushing and pulling on them and they will 100% rub through and be trashed.
