FMIC Cold piping

[byzantines2000]

I installed my fmic and it has since incurred some damage. Going on, the pipe was perfectly round, but after searching for a boost leak ive noticed the end isn't round anymore. It looks like it got squished in a bit.

Literally no idea how it got damaged, maybe the clamp wasnt on tight enough and it dinged into the intercooler, or the clamp was too tight and literally just squished the pipe in on the end.

Is it possible to get a new cold air pipe? (the one with bpv mount just in case i dont know what im talking about, i am a novice at modding my car but its fun so im probably going to end up with a blown up/broken car soon)

take the cold pipe to your mechanic or a garage and see if they can fix it. They may be able to re round it with a pipe spreader

I was thinking about it, but I know that once you start bending/rebending metal it will compromise the integrity. If I knew what exactly happened in the first place I wouldn't mind keeping it and maybe straighten (or round) it back out if it wont happen again. The only thing I can think of though (because it doesn't get any hits back on a google search) is that I must have been a bit too rough when sliding it in the coupler and seating it against the intercooler.
