haha u better believe it funny enough i actually have 2clamps on that end next to each other that are VERY tight. I'll look into how to fix it 2morrow. thinking some long cable ties to take the bending pressure off that end of the intake might work a treat.

cable ties, what cant they be used for?

cable ties should work, maybe also buy a better clamp, my uas kit had really good quality clamps that tighten really well although i didn't install the kit myself so wouldn't know if your kit is the exact same as mine.

there shouldn't be that much bending pressure on it and I would think with 2 hose clamps you are probably losing strength due to there not being that much there to hold it down. One should be enough. Just really tight and with the pipe pushed right onto the TB. I found I had to hold it in place while I was doing up the clamp.

Mind you mine hasn't been on to drive around with so I can't really talk about that. But how tight I had it on today it was never going to move without me taking it off.

Try doing it up gently with a socket if a screw driver isn't working for you. Don't over do it though.

Here is attempt no 2 to fix it up..


the Piping from front bar


Bottom half, maybe i should hide it a little? cops may see it and pull me over yeah??

See if you can tuck it up so that the mouth draws from beind that lower opening in the front bar. That way you reduce the chance of sucking a mouthful of water in Also pierce of a few pin holes in the bottom of the pipe to aid drainage should it happen.
