1'' bypass hose issue

Sorry, yes CFD/Troy explained it better than me, cut/slice down to where nipple enters the intake and fold/bend the 4 corners in.
so just cut and fold down to 3/4''?

I think what @4spdragtop was referring to is to cut the nipple into 1/4's and bend them inward until they break off. With the slits cut, the rest of the nipple should tear off inside the threaded portion......Am I reading you correct Steve?
