Default sorry fipk tubing

anybody got a fipkII where the tubing has failed? the darn thing never did fit right from the initial install.could not use the bottom support bracket(rubbed on ac line but top bracket seems to hold ok),the filter sat too close the the radiator tubing and too far from the fender hole,then too top all that i noticed i was always having to tighten the clamp on the tubing next to tb clamp only to notice the clamp was not backing off but the ###$##$ tubing was deforming from the heat and clamp pressure. beware you may not have noticed this. quick fix though take the k&n tubing back off call your dog and give him their new toy. next grab your factory tubing(unbury first) then slap the bad boy back on the tb and k&n assembly. great fit right next too the fender well hole and away from the radiator tubing the factory tubing fits right up with no need extension sleeves that leak.99% of your power is coming from the filter and taking out that restrictive mas screen any how.
