Default Installed new air cleaner

Hello I just installed this Mach 2 air cleaner on my Harley Sportster 48. I'm wondering if I should cut the breather hoses a little bit shorter


so that I could have them more straight as there is a little bend as you can see and I'm concerned that that might be cutting down the airflow

They don't seem to be kinked so I'd say you're good.
