Ok, finally got the tube to sit correctly. I had to twist the passenger side tube more to the left, so the HPS logo is facing almost to the left side. This made the Crank Case tube sit better and wasnt pressing in on the HPS tube itself....

Hey can you take a pic of your setup? I had to rotate my passenger side tube as well, and even though the massive choke-kink is gone and it sits much better, it's still slightly 'deformed' in its shape...

The passenger side tube is B@#$% to install. Had to trim a little off the end that connects to the throttle body and had to bench grind and smooth the plastic knobs off of the breather tube, so it would fit all the way in the HPS hose. Instructions were fine except you do not have to take off the intake cover (not sure why you would have to). even though i didnt want to, i felt i had to take off the strut bar to have room to install the tubes. Just waiting for my fast Intentions exhaust coming this week, then will fire her up and see how everything feels.

Hey sorry i havent had a chance to take that pic yet. Did you get it on? if you look at the pics in this thread, you can see how it should sit. The Crank Case hose part almost faces upward, compared to facing to the side on the drivers side, and the HPS logo will face leftward or far left compared to the drivers side which sits facing up. Ill take the pic tonight...

Yeah I messed around with it a bit more, and my passenger side tube's logo is facing kinda left-middle. Diametrically speaking, the tube isn't exactly O-shaped like my driver side though; there's no major kink/bend in it anymore, but it's still not as perfectly formed as the driver side. I don't think it is so severe that it affects the amount of air going into the engine, per se, but was wondering it you were able to get it to sit in a position that allowed the tube to retain the ideal O-shape.

yea again, sorry I havent posted any pics, very busy week for me. Although, I am not sure I can even get a good shot of it... Where isnt it "O" shaped? the only spot on mine that i thought might be very slightly off, was above the breather tube where the curve is to the throttle body. i think it may be sitting slightly "oval", but very slightly. Im pretty anal when it comes to stuff like this and I was happy with the way it was sitting when i decided I was done. That tube is a royal pain in the a** to get to sit right. im wondering how many others may have had this issue and just left it...

It's all good man, this week has been pretty hectic for me as well. As for the tube, yeah, it's pretty much that part between the throttle-body opening and the breather tube - mine is kinda oval-ish, too. It's not severe or anything, but was just wondering if you (and others) had a similar situation with the install and positioning - thanks for confirming the shape of your passenger side tube man

From Wikipedia:

ETA or Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (English: Basque Homeland and Freedom; pronounced [ˈeta]) is an armed Basque nationalist and separatist organization. The group was founded in 1959 and has since evolved from a group promoting traditional Basque culture to a paramilitary group with the goal of gaining independence for the Greater Basque Country.[4][5] ETA is the main organisation of the Basque National Liberation Movement and is the most important participant in the Basque conflict. In 2011 ETA declared a "permanent, general and verifiable" ceasefire with the expressed aim of ending its campaign.

Just kidding dude - it means "estimated time of arrival"

I have had two different types of intakes installed on my z and it's all been a waist of money. Stay stock and keep a fast z. Intakes will make your car louder and slower. You will loose all the quickness. Just a nice exhaust and your set.

K&N drop ins are the way to go,,,,
