stock intake removal

Hey guys I am trying to remove the stock intake on my gsr. I loosened all the clamps but I cannot for the life of me get the stock rubber piping off from the turbo inlet. The clamp is as loose as can be but it still wont come off. Any insights?

I think you can warm up the tube a little with a hair dryer. But you can get it off without this step. Just wiggle and pull at the same time, it'll come off..and it's time to get some man muscles.

Use a flat head screw driver and carefully slip it under the plastic and slide it around the inlet. Be careful not to scratch or put a hole in anything. When these pieces are heated and cooled with a clamp they will tend to stick.

Or you could get some man muscles...

Try some WD40 under the lip of the intake too, that should help as well as the man muscles. haha.
