Typhoon K&N Install issue

Ridgerunner · 10-10-2010, 10:35 PM

Just completed my first mod with install of Typhoon Intake kit. Instructions looked simple enough. Take off of stock intake was easy. Damn, putting the small breather hose from the valve cover to the intake tube was a real bitch. The hose is the same size as what you are fitting it to. I spent more time getting these on then the rest install. Anyone have a trick for getting these on easier. I sprayed silicone on the outside of the valve cover intake fitting but that only helped a little. I thought about heating the rubber hose up to expand them and make them more pliable, that might work. At any rate, I don't have them on as far as I want, although they seem to be fine, the Z is purring after the install.
