One could get a correctly-sized hose clamp, of which somebody might have posted a picture, not over-tighten it and call it a day. (I still like adding a check valve before the IM)

Or you could ignore all that and listen to this one guy.

Ok so you ignore the fact that improved racing lied about their test results as well as the size of the Honda barbs And why are they not here disputing it? They used oversized hoses to get great test results. Plenty of pics proving this. Hose clamp doesn't fix it, correcting the hoses does.

I’ll take the larger hose and better performance, thanks. You keep your smaller hose. Not everyone needs the big ones.

Coming from someone who apparently is ok with vacuum leaks and your car running rich, you go for it. I paid $300 for a kit that was supposed to have the correct size hoses and support that actually answers a ticket. Not to mention the R&D that apparently wasn't done for the vehicle it was sold for. I'll gladly call them out for garbage support that ignores tickets and provides incorrect size hoses. From their website :
  • Direct bolt-on kit for Gen 10-11 Honda Civic, Gen 10 FK8 Civic Type R, and Gen 5 Acura Integra. Does not fit hybrid models.

Honestly I don't know why I'm even entertaining your rude and outlandish comments. Here are some pictures and yes I went out of my way to take these pictures for you.

Not sure why I'm even bothered to entertain your rude and outlandish comments but I have attached some pictures for you to see. Yes I actually wasted my time to do this. It seems like you are the only one individual with an issue and blowing it out of proportion.

And there clearly is not a 9.5mm 3/8 barb anywhere. Thanks for confirming. Can also confirm the hose stayed the same from 2017 to 2025. Because as I side ID on on factory line and OD on the Honda barb is 5/16 or roughly 8mm. I see though you didn't bother showing us just how small the Factory lines are. Here you go ,factory hose literally inside the 3/8 hose provided. Maybe someone there should pay attention to support tickets and not delete tags before replying to that person on YouTube. After sales support makes a big difference. Took you 2 days to answer a ticket before sale and after sales your gone.

I think you should give up on what ever mission you are on. The pictures I have posted in response is the factory hose. You clearly jump to conclusions with out any facts, you have no idea what you are talking about and love to point fingers. Also these are the factory clamps that you accused me of not using they are also in the picture.
Thank you for wasting all of our time and I won't be wasting anymore of my time responding.

The pics proved one thing dude, this is something that should have been actually done during R & D and the barbs are too small for 3/8" hose. Also can put the factory hose clamp on your 3/8" hose and prove it won't even open up enough to go over a 3/8" barb. Would you like those pics as well? Here is pic of the factory hose with clamps provided for this complete kit. The same ones that you couldn't even install. i never even took them out of the original bag, it pretty obvious they were too large. Some more of that great R & D.

@tc0566 Quit your bitching and complaining about a hose. It is not serving any useful purpose at this point.

You pointed out a potential concern with the hose to barb to clamp connection point(s). You also shared a fix so others that may have a similar concern have a solution to consider. Cool and thanks!

And for doing so Improved Racing has nothing to say and their fanboy boy calls me rude before validating my own claim. Maybe companies need to stop with using AI to get specs and actually do some R & D. Yes I'm bitching because of that bs.

So like what else are you doing with your car? Downpipe + big turbo?
