Does the hose clamp not even fit around the silicon coupler without anything being installed yet?
Anyone have a picture of this "electrical box" that might have been in the way of the intake/heat shield? I don't have a heat shield, but I recall having to move or remove any box. Only issue I had was regarding the vacuum line not staying on the aluminum tube with the OEM clasp.

Intakes for our cars dont affect MPG (other than negatively by stomping on the gas to hear the intake). Your cars ECU is adjusting to the intake, I would say give it a day or two

invidia midpipe is nice to have. you only hear it when the windows are down and when you floor it. I have the invidia pipe with an F sport intake. I hear the midpipe around 3-4k RPM then the intake sound at 4-5k RPM. At about 3k RPM you can slightly hear the intake rumbling a little bit. works for me
