I did the rerouted breather mod the other week and when complete I couldn't fit the air box base plate on because the hoses sat too high up prevent the plate from sitting flush with the frame. What I ended up doing was running the hose from the rear cylinder through the throttle cables (the metal tubes that each run through before they hit the bracket then the actual cable is exposed) and then having the T just past the cables. I had to pull the hose through the cables some what hard, as the hose is now pinched a bit. So I guess my question is, is the hose that runs through the cables going to cause any damage over time? I worked the throttle and there is no hang ups, everything is smooth. Should I pull it back apart and try and figure another fix? The pic Kevin has on his website, shows the throttle body and stack area much less congested as mine. Any other 08 owners run into this problem? | ||

The cable bracket that holds the guide tubes is made from fairly mild or soft steel. It doesn't take much force to distort the bracket and loosen the tubes. Once loose the tubes can re-tightened, but you have to remove the bracket to accomplish this, (know this from experience). I would be careful not to exert much force on the tubes. | ||

I have already ran the hose between the tubes. I encountered no problems, I didn't bend up the bracket or the tubes. I was just wondering if I may cause problems down the road with that hose pinched (not enough to restrict the air flow in a huge way) in between those tubes. |
