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

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.

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.

What do you mean?

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.

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

I had thought that I fixed mine to sit properly. I looked again yesterday and noticed it was crushing the tube as well. So i unscrewed the breather hose from the manifold and just let it sit loose on top of where it would screw. it repositions itself where it doesnt crush the tube, so im just going to leave it like that. Figure its not going to cause any harm not being screwed down, it may jump around, but only a little...

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...

Red__Zed 05-27-2011 08:34 AM

Yeah, I was thinking about doing the same

Besides i stripped/cross threaded that screw hole lol, so i dont have much choice right now. I think im going to just put a plastic strap through the hole to hold the tube in place, but at least it will sit better...

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. :)
