Some people will cringe.... But I took a small pocket torch (the kind you light candle / grills with) and very gently took the flame around the edge of the intake tube. Maybe one minute total and just enough to get the plastic warm. Then it slid right on the intake. NOTE: be very careful and do NOT expose the flame to any oil, dirt or other residue or other engine component (the results would not be good). Make sure the tube is clean and free of any residue, oil, ETC. Do not attempt this if you feel that you could make a mistake. If done properly, the tube will slide right on the intake and as the plastic cools, will cool to its original shape.

Like I said some will cringe....but it has worked well for me.....
