another thing that older model users miss when keeping the stock intake and just maximizing it, is the black foam tape around the air boxes lids, air box mouth, and snourkel ( how ever you spell it) Ive seen 12's already completely degraded and sucking hot engine air....not to mention air intake through the snourkel is gives a pressurizing effect.

I bought these to replace the HPS becuase the driver side plastic baffle piece cracked in half and I wasnt sure how to fix it, so decided to replace with post MAF tubes and the PCV Breathers...

Yes, they looked crimped when they initially went on so I had to cut off about 1/4-1/2 inch with a utility knife. No big deal. I can't remember which side, but passenger side sounds right.

I also reused all the hose clamps from the original intakes and breather hoses just to make sure everything was air tight. The hose clamps on the OEM rubber intake hoses are "permanently" attached to the hoses so you just have to cut a little rubber tab to get them off...it will be obvious once you get 'em off, or just pick up some clamps at the hw store.
