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.

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).
