So yea I could order the part and wait another week, I'm in a near Porsche parts desert out here in Indiana. But can you apply a heat gun to the tube and get it to flex enough to hook up? Other Ideas?

I'm checking with dealer parts shops but they are a fair drive from where I'm at. It would be nice to actually drive this Boxster before the weather turns.
Factory part or aftermarket?
