So i'm aware of what it is and why I will be keeping it funcitional but the problem is it hits my stock hood badly. I'm done with the aftermarket game and really prefer the stock hood look so was thinking of trimming this tube down a little bit but not sure exactly how to go about removing it from the throttlebody. Does it twist out or am I going to destroy the throttlebody trying to remove it and should just figure out a way to trim it without removing it?


Thanks

I think it's a press fit and you should be able to pull it out.

Get the engine good and hot and them put some ice cubes on the tube itself. At that point, it should twist out easily with some Visegrip pliers

Like said, it twists out. I put a torch on the TB for a few mins, and then was able to remove it.
