Default The Samco hoses are designed for pre DBW cars
the passenger side hose the connects to the Bypass valve is not the proper size. They have not come out with a new passenger side hose that matches the OEM DBW hose, plus I think the hose is a little shorter too.

I;m sure it would be easier if you removed it, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary. Anyone?
