I did, I was thinking the same thing. That sucker is on there real good, loosened the clamp, and tried to pull then pry the hose off. Is it sealed with something? It seemed like it, so I didn't want to go crazy on it. There is also a sensor on it with a hard hose connected to it, offered very little give so I didn't want to further create problems by trying to strong arm it off.

Don't leave that air filter housing unsealed. Ours was apparently cracked very slightly in last year's accident, and it was not discovered until more than a month after we got the car back from initial repairs. The engine kept throwing misfire codes in cylinder 3. They swapped coils and plugs to see if the codes would follow the swap. They did not - cylinder 3 misfired again. Once the cracked air filter housing was discovered and the unit was replaced with a new one (it came with a new mass airflow sensor as well), no more misfire codes....

FINALLY got the airbox sealed and snapped in correctly. There was no way in hell I could have gotten it in there without taking the hose off the air box lid. It's not sealed or anything, just needed some elbow grease. I didn't damage that hard plastic hose (dumb) which is a bonus.
The box cover literally needs to almost go vertical to get those tabs in, don't remember it being this hard when I put my K&N in, but whatever. Haven't had any loss of coolant yet but have only driven a few miles. Going to the office with it today which is about 90 miles round trip, and its hot as hell out. Will report back....
