JLT also offers a carbon fiber kit, and they said this:
Quote:
This kit is made from real Carbon Fiber, which is known for its light weight and extreme strength. When tightening all hose clamps, ONLY snug them with nothing more then a nut driver or screwdriver. Even though it is very strong, it is possible to tighten the clamp too much and crack the gel coat.

Hmm...just looking at the picture that looks like the hose clamp was greatly overtightened which would create an intense pressure point directly below the junction point of the hose clamp which is where the "collapsed" area is.
If you look at the rubber hose at this point, you can see it is actually damaged and creased inward into the "collapsed" area of the intake which indicates to me that the clamp was overtightened enough to cause this damage. You could still give Steeda a call, maybe they can do something for you, but I think you are going to have a hard time claiming this as a defect with Steeda's warranty department.
