I read somewhere that someone had to heat the pipe with a blow dryer to make it soft enough to fit back in.

If you have a aftermarket intake, a lot of people have left it on with no problems with the dealership.

ok just got a heat gun and heated up the stock pipes. after that it took me 10 minutes, was very easy to do when the stock pipes are warm. reason is not just the opening, but you can actually pull the stock pipe towards you and it will stay. when the pipes are cold, they just wont move. the pipe is a little like a bendy straw, where you can pull it and it will extend.

I'm assuming it worked then?

ya worked perfect

without the 2 stock pipes warm, you cannot get the stock intake on. it just does not fit . you need to be able to stretch the stock pipes, they wont stretch when they are cold

glad you got it figured out. =)
