Default Vararam intake fix?? Intake is bent.

Hey guys,

I just bought this Vararam for cheap of a local forum member, and it's bent
on the intake duct where it connects to the stock are bridge.

I have seen this before on here I believe its from over tightening it. I assume I can just put a heat gun on it and bend it back. Anybody dealt with this before? Thanks.

Here is a picture.

Ya, just heat it and then push the MAF down the opening a bit first.
