Your going to either need to get hardpipes or a new peice from mitsubshi to replace the damaged pipe. Do I know you by the way? This is Rob with the silver '03 on juice.

I checked mine out and it is rubbing against the fan shroud.During boost those stock hoses tends to bloat up thats why i went with an hardpipe UICP.
