The hardest part was getting the tubes to hook up with the air box. But these tubes are pretty durable so don't be afraid to bend or scuff them.

How were those clamps hard to work with. ? Installed the tubes and then installed the clamps. The clamps come apart !!! Also side by side my tubes were different. I took them out of the plastic before installation and just placed them on to the stock tubes to identify which one went where..

I trimmed my passenger side tube a little bit where the breather hose connects. Fit a little better after that

Not a bad idea. I didnt have time to mess with it last night but i think if i twist it so that the HPS logo is facing even more to the left, then it will sit better... We shall see...

Ok, finally got the tube to sit correctly. I had to twist the passenger side tube more to the left, so the HPS logo is facing almost to the left side. This made the Crank Case tube sit better and wasnt pressing in on the HPS tube itself....

Hey can you take a pic of your setup? I had to rotate my passenger side tube as well, and even though the massive choke-kink is gone and it sits much better, it's still slightly 'deformed' in its shape...

Hey sorry i havent had a chance to take that pic yet. Did you get it on? if you look at the pics in this thread, you can see how it should sit. The Crank Case hose part almost faces upward, compared to facing to the side on the drivers side, and the HPS logo will face leftward or far left compared to the drivers side which sits facing up. Ill take the pic tonight...

Look through the initial pages of this thread for the info requested...somewhere around Page 5.

The passenger side tube is B@#$% to install. Had to trim a little off the end that connects to the throttle body and had to bench grind and smooth the plastic knobs off of the breather tube, so it would fit all the way in the HPS hose. Instructions were fine except you do not have to take off the intake cover (not sure why you would have to). even though i didnt want to, i felt i had to take off the strut bar to have room to install the tubes. Just waiting for my fast Intentions exhaust coming this week, then will fire her up and see how everything feels.
