Well, as I sat there looking at the wavey edge of my intake duct, and the blood from my thumb all over the utility knife blade, I couldn't help but think it's a little ridiculous that I have to trim a $450 hose set that is custom made for our cars.

I still haven't trimmed it enough, and I can't get the edge perfectly straight. It isn't ragged, just a slight bit wavey (I used the clamp/bracket as a guide too). I am thinking worst case I can have the clamp sit slightly over the edge so that you don't see the wavey edge of the duct.

I will try to contact Samco tomorrow and see what they have to say about it. If the coolant hoses need trimming too, I think you'll see a nice new hose set showing up on eBay...
