My new HPS post MAF tubes installed

svmtbman

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.

looks like you've got the crushed tube as well.

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...

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.

kenchan

nothing really to look at. just some black tubes... lol




i did feel around the tube and it's not oval shaped at all. from wat i could tell, it's perfectly round, no pushing or stress points from the breather.

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

It looks and feels "round" to me? I'm getting my new clamps from HPS next week so I'll look closer when I swap them out.

On another note, I purchased my tubes from Evasive Motorsports and had them at my door within a week (5 day shipping).
