- - My new HPS post MAF tubes installed (http://www.the370z.com/intake-exhaust/26750-my-new-hps-post-maf-tubes-installed.html)

A mistake was made somewhere during the packaging. I just took a look at mine and they are different with different part numbers.

I could get it hooked up but then it puts a bad kink in the main intake hose. I tired both tubes and same problem on the right side.
Both of my HPS intake tubes are exactly alike. Is there suppose to be a right and a left? The tubes came in separate plastic bags with different part numbers on them, but they are the same. I worked on this project for two hours (most all of that was scratching my head) which should have taken 15 minute for the whole thing. Bottom line is that I didn’t like what I saw so put it all back to stock.

They sent you two left side hoses. The hoses are not identical. When installed, the HPS logo is on the top of both hoses, even though on the left side the logo is hidden under the tower brace. I would definitely call them. They screwed up and should send you the correct pieces with free shipping.

my tubes came with hps logo on both sides too. they need to put the logo on one side, so if the tube is on the correct side the logo will show. I put the tubes on the wrong side then switched and they fit fine. there is a difference in the angle of the crankcase vent fitting. one angle is more acute than the other. if u match them to the stock tubes u will c the difference. hope this helps.

Yes I did match them up to the stock ones. Both HPS tubes look the same as in the pic. the stock one shows the crankcase vent fitting faceing in a down direction and the HPS is facing in a upwards direction.

that stinks, I'm sure u waited a while to get the tubes too. I'm sure the company u got them from will take care of u.

I just ordered the tubes. Where is the cheapest place to buy the afe filters? And when I order the filters does it include two? Thanks

ahhh...they're back-ordered everywhere...

I ordered mine from AutoAnything - I think about $100 for two. They come boxed in pairs if you look under 370Z specific air filters.

Does the filter available from Kraigen or AutoZone? I know they carried the K&N filters but not sure if they have it for 370Z

If the AFE part# is 31-10173 then you get two in a package.

I do not think you are correct. Am pretty sure that is the single filter.

The dual filter package is 31-10196

Thank you Mr. Q and darrinps for this info.
I just called my local Autozone and they don't have this in stock. I checked Autoanything.com. Their part number is:33-2399/33-2399 for about $112. I will go with them since it's free shipping:)
