Isn't there like a metal clip we can buy at home depot or something... Cus the zip tie doesn't look like it will last.

on mine i put one of those very small hose clamps. the ones you have to use pliers and squeeze to open. Looks better and i hope will last longer.

Thanks for the info... this will be some good preventative measure. Hopefully the zip tie doesn't melt...

It won't melt. They can take more heat than you think and intake doesn't get near hot enough.
