Intake has been reinstalled and I've tried various tightness on the clamps, all to no avail.
It's a poorly designed piece of shit. And that's being generous. Mine had the same issues. Got rid of it awhile ago and have not looked back. The marginal to non-existent power gain isn't worth the potential risk to the engine of sucking in unfiltered air every time the elbow pops off.
