yeah the air tubing is cut at an angle due to the headlight cover angle, so to get the tubing to be fully functional cut the hole to where the tubing touches the headlight cover leaving a seemless air duct.. not meant to be a circle... it's like elliptical..

I don't but I don't know if its simply the weather cooling down in phoenix az right now or the head light duct, but the throttle response seems to be quite better starts pulling when you touch the throttle compared to when the turbo spools.

Yeah sure its meant to be "elliptical" but if you pay attention to detail you can get it looking "elliptical"

These ppl below have managed to get the right look:

Now that is clean. I like the OP's as well but the split tubing is the only drawback. I still think it looks very well done

Who are "these people"? Are they a vendor here?

Both look clean. I prefer EvoVII example

^^ I just google images of "Evo headlight duct"..... Those were the best examples of "elliptical" ducts.... Im guessing these are evodave examples....

However, ppl have also tried other shapes.....

This the best example of the single duct (better that "elliptical" imo):

Best example of a twin duct system:
