Just for the record..
After about a month the couplers will stretch to where the cai will move
more, not bad but I wish they would stay nice and tight like that..
Personal experience ;) I too have the ES torque set (gotta love those) and
it doesn't move enough to cause any harm, but they do loosen up after a
while.
