So found this issue tonight. Any thoughts on a solution besides completely replacing the whole thing? My CAI coupling keeps sliding off and it's now stalling my car out pretty frequently.

build a better Cold Air intake!!! use aluminium piping and silicone couplers and more clamps!

I mean out of all the CAI i have bought and put on my previous cars, this is the first time an OEM piece it was supposed to connect to has bent like that....

JB weld?


duct tape would probably work too

that sucks. looks like you went a little over board on tightening some clamps. or maybe it was a crappy plastic mold...? i might have a spare lower intake. try to put an inner ring in and rivet it in place.

your best bet is new/used OEM part though.

Thanks fellas for all the help. Yeah i didnt think i put the clamps too tight but maybe i dont know my own strength... I laughed at the west virginia chrome idea, but it actually is viable. I was trying to find any alternative besides replacing that part as i didnt want to try to dig down to the bottom area to pull that piece out. Looks like i'll try a combination of the above ideas thanks again for all the input!!!
