Hard Charge Tube & Oil Filter

[RevCivic]

How is changing the Oil filter with a hard charge tube?
I know you have to do some bending and flexing to get the rubber one out of the way.

Also, would it decrease efficiency if I were to cut the pipe and weld in a small bend or bend the pipe as is it to make the access to the filter easier?

Or would it be easier to relocate the oil filter? If thats possible lol.

Thanks for any advice.

It's easiest and most desirable to just undo the tube at one end and swing it out of the way for oil changes.

That is how I do it. Just loosen the clamp at the throttle body connection and slip the hose off and push it aside. It takes very little effort and time and makes the job very easy.

Thanks for the input. Looking at the hard charge tube made it seem like a pain but that sounds simple enough.
