It's mostly a feel-good mod. I bought them primarily because they clean up the engine bay a bit.

Finally got around to installing mine today. Ran into the typical issue with the passenger tube, which is a bit irritating. The nipple is angled the same for both tubes, but needs to be set up differently for the passenger tube...

Mine came with the same clamps and note, I sent the email today requesting the worm bands when they come in stock. The tubes were much easier to install than I expected, took like 40 minutes and I didn't have to remove the strut bar.

Passeger side tube doesn't fit properly. It crushes the tube in on itself

Hes right. If you look at the picture where the breather hose fits to the HPS tube, its presses in on it and makes it an "oval" shape instead of circular. If you put your hand on the tube under where the strut bar is, you will feel how it isnt circular all the way through...

What are you seeing in the picture to lead you to believe the tube is crushed? Everything seems round and in the right place to me when I run my hand around the tube.

I trimmed the breather and main tube a little when I installed and no issue.

The breather tube is pulled 'down' in the picture, and it is warping the tube.

Just got an email from HPS saying the worm clamps should be back in stock next week, they are sending them to me for free.

TheGreatOne · 05-27-2011, 07:55 AM

I think this is my next mod, some good info in this post

Its not as pretty as an Injen or Stillen CAI but more cost effective and I'm not worrying about low end torque.

Red__Zed · 05-27-2011, 08:34 AM

Yeah, I was thinking about doing the same
