Default F Sport intake tube question..

Is the fsport tube suppose to be perfectly oval around the outer tubing? cause both my outer tube seem bent. Is this normal?

I remember mine being normal when I got it. Maybe a slight oval shape to it, but not like that. Maybe it gets that "bad" after prolonged use. I looked at mine recently (because of this thread) and although not as oval as pictured there is a slight warp to the whole thing I suppose.

I'd ask Sewell if they would be willing to entertain a replacement pipe for that one. To me, it seems bent/out-of-round. Even my secondhand Fujita intake was still round. LOL!

Is been on the car for like a month now. Seem to be ok. I don't think is a big deal. Was just wondering if any one else had this issue.

well if it works and it isnt drawing air where it shoudnt be (ie: after the filter) then you're fine.
