To fix the tubing collapse problem, I bought some 3" PVC pipe from Lowe's. It has a 3.5" outer diameter, so it made it very convenient to use from the inside for support. I cut about a one inch wide piece and placed it inside the silicone tubing right before it transitions through the rectangular area of the radiator support.

Test drive showed that everything held strong until about 10psi, when based on pressure meter readings, the tube might have collapsed again.

My plan is to cut another piece about the same width, and place it before the transition through the rectangular area to prevent the collapse from happening.

I will get pictures of this piece when I complete it.

Should this work (and I'm pretty confident it will), I will make a separate thread detailing exactly what I did in case anybody wants to do the same thing.

Thanks for following!
Looks good. I'm curious to see how less restrictive it is compared to the stock filter.
