Do you guys think this would affect anything ?

Just installed a PMAS intake in my stang and the coupler that connects to the throttle body is slightly bent. Would this affect airflow or cause any type of turbulence in anyway or should it be fine? Car seems to be driving fine.
And also I think it bends because when I close the hood it shuts down on the intake tube a little.

While I would not consider myself any sort of authority on this product, it certainly looks as though there is a kink that is reducing the cross sectional area ahead of the TB inlet. That certainly will be less than ideal for air flow. How much of an impact is hard to say, but I would not be happy with anything other than a smooth transition.

I don’t know anything about anything; but yea, that will 100% effect airflow

Looks ‘wrong’ and if it’s not, I would be pulling that intake off …

Is your air box seated correctly (mine wasn’t, straight from flat rock) ? If it’s not, it only needs to be a little bit out of position and it gets exaggerated by the time it gets to the throttle body.
