The solution for this is actually simple.
Take some pliers and twist the back side of the tamper proof bolt. It will twist just enough to be able to release the tube from the metal pipe.

Here’s a pic of mine after I took it off.
You can see the damage to the back of the bolt from using the pliers

Hey Guys!

Sorry for the delay getting back to you on this one! So I spoke with the engineer about this clamp, and it looks like it didn't make it into the install guide, but our CTR had the same thing on the stock hose. There are a few options to remove it, you can cut a groove for a flathead screwdriver, cut it off completely or snip it off with some heavy duty cutters.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions!

Would be great if you add new clamps in the package!
I will probably just snip mine off.

Way ahead of you! We're including some nice and stealthy black worm gear clamps to replace all of the silver and chrome on the stock intake ;)

@Mishimoto are we getting close to shipping? Super eager. I’m excited to pair this with @Hondata, especially with both releasing back to back
We just checked up on the shipment this morning and we're in the home stretch! As of the last update we're still on schedule to have these all packed up and start shipping in the coming weeks!

Not sure about Mishi, but we're getting like 10" of snow today. @Mishimoto may not be in the office today!

We haven't quite reached double digits in accumulation yet, but lucky for you guys I can work from home ;) We're getting very close now, and the air boxes should be arriving at our facility any day now for packaging! I'll make sure to keep you guys up to speed!
