The tube is to keep the magnet from flying out of socket or hanging up on the intake screen. Contrary to popular belief the 6025 and 6045 use the same front cover."
Ahh... So I would imagine that drilling holes in the tube would be best b/c it will keep the proper rotation direction and increase the flow.

Whoops... It pays to read on before you respond.
