AFE Magnum intake vacuum hose stretched

RedlinePSI · 12-29-2014, 11:43 AM

Anybody install, or have seen an AFE Magnum intake installed up close? Everything was very smooth, however I noticed that the vacuum line was a very tight stretch. I could barely get it to clip on the intake. If not for the play in the rubber grommet it would not have made it. Pic below. Is anybody else's like this? Is this going to be ok? I don't want any open air leaking in and I don't know if this will work loose/wear out over time.

I also had the same problem with the intake, I've had it on for about two months and had no problems. Enjoy!

Had the same problem with BMS intake got it like 75% in and gave up then looked at it a week later and noticed it moved in itself 100% connected. So somehow it connected itself.

Perfectly normal, unfortunately. Hasnt caused any issues for me but wtf were they thinking making it that tight of a fit. Great intake otherwise.
