people w/franken intake, do you have this problem; the one tube that goes towards the trotale body bends? Is there a way to fix that?

trotale? Is that English? If you're talking about the largest rubber tube that connects to the back of the manifold, just cut it shorter. The one they gave me was too long, so it crimped at the bend. I cut a few inches off and it works fine.

Re: people w/franken intake, do you have this problem?

First off, I don't have a Frankcar intake but I know what you're talking about.

It's okay if it pinches off a little. That's the tube that goes to the idle air assembly. If it's choked off some, the idle air assembly will just open up a little more (automatically) to let the right amount of air into the engine to maintain the idle rpm.

It'll be fine.

actually i bought some hose and cut it a bit longer, the hose that came with the intake is not as strong as the stock hose.......also i boughht braided hose from Lowes, it seems a bit stronger and aesthetically nicer........
