Oh yeah....hmm.
If we need to further drive this home I can link to about 100 more threads with the same complaints. My guess is some people get lucky with the fitment twist/bends etc at it manages to stay open. Mine also ran fine (sort of) in the summer as I mentioned. Until I knew it was a problem I guessed at other items like TMIC and exhaust being the restriction...not the case as it turned out.
My opinion stands GMS inlet tube = JUNK.
I'm sure the vendors love to sell them since they are cheap but it seems we get what we pay for in this case. At the very least GMS should man up like Perrin did and at least admit the problem and warn people.
Note the part where they say "A very small but damaging issue we had with some of our parts was the reports of them collapsing." :

LOL if this is happening to a hose that is twice as thick (which it is or more) as the GMS hose, then is IS an issue. All vendors are doing by selling junk like this is without warning is killing there own rep.
I'm done. Take it or leave it.
