CRK,

Sorry for the aggravation in installing yours. We guarantee our hoses against all normal wear and tear.

Sig

So what is normal? Would you say I compromised the integrity of the throttle body hose with my installation process? Will you guarantee my hoses? If not will you replace my throttle body hose with a new one if I return the old one?

I ask because I am curious as to what your opinion is. I am still happy with the hoses construction/looks and cost. But fitment is/was an issue that I was aware of in some degree. I did not realize the level of difficulty, just that others had express fitment issues with silicone hoses even those of the competitor.

As I said before this post is not a slam or flame against you or your product. They are on my car look great and perform well, fitment was just a oh yeah! and I thought others would get a kick out the thread title.

Thanks for posting in the thread Sig! Other vendors may have thought to let it slide under the rug and not address the issue in a positive manor such as your self. Thanks!

i thought this was going to be a story about you and Grant.

guess I was wrong.

You sound jealous, let down and dispointed all at the same time. Go wash the sand out from your vagina, it will make you feel better Pras :P

I heated up the hose with the heat gun, applied a good amount of astroglide and worked the large end of the bat into the opening on the hose. Once the bat was in the hose, I again used the heat gun to heat up the silicone hose and some of the bat. I let cool off for about 10 min. then I heated up the outside of the hose and the bat again...
