If it's not leaking it will run "ok" but that certainly isn't going to flow air as it should. You may can get it to last long enough for PRL's titanium inlet to hit the market if that was something you were considering. They are fairly easy to replace.

Maybe just reshape it and put duct tape on it to hold it together as a temporary solution?

I mean…plastic is entirely sufficient and cost-effective for an OEM air intake on a normal (non-$100k+) vehicle.?

Yeah those permanent clamps were the biggest damn pain. Replaced them all with screw in ones. Took me around 3 hours to take off, try to put on the PLM and then put the stock one back on. I can probably take it off in about 15 minutes now. LOL

Even more insane, I looked up just the rubber piece that connects between the pipe and the inlet on the low side. The damn rubber piece alone is over $100 with those 2 clamps.
