Upper IC Tube Mod

Here is an easy mod that will save a lot of time getting the Upper IC tube off & on. Now I don't have to take the support bolt nut all of the way off or remove the washer res for enough clearance to get it past the stud. Good luck

Wouldnt that cause the IC tube to vibrate? Or are you still able to tighten teh bolt to normal torque to keep the IC tube tight?
 
Its about 1/2" thick and didn't harm my old car when I did this to first, several years ago but I didn't have a camera or place to put the pic. It will still take the torque needed, it just makes it a lot easier, thats all. Good luck
 
I doubt there would be any problem with doing that, lots of people (myself included) have completely shaved off that bracket because it didn't line up with a raised top. I've also removed one of the two brackets on the lower tube, because it's a pain in the neck. The only one left is the one under the PS bracket.
