You guys probably know, but it looks like the Ford Factory 2017 design is very similar to the H&S silicone tube design, except cheaper. The Ford part that clips to the throttle looks to be plastic, while the H&S is aluminum. The Ford tube is all rubber (like a radiator hose), while the H&S is silicone. Other than that they look very similar. Finally Ford simplified the design, but may have got overly cheap - but it still has to be better than 2011-2016 design.
Actually, no. Ford redesigned the entire tube except for the one part that always fails. The plastic slip collar on the end of the tube, the one part Ford left unchanged, is the part that generally fails. So, the new 2017+ Ford OE tube is just as failure prone as the previous design....
