Dear USAFZDRIVER, my fellow AF member,
I am truly and deeply sorry for your duty location. I drove through Cannon a few months back to visit a friend who works over in contracting. It is a depressing place. Good luck keeping your z clean.

Luckily This isnt my first duty location. At least I am not down range anymore too. You are correct, Tr0n, it is nearly imposible to keep my Z clean and it deosnt help that I have no garage. But I slave away and it stays decent for the most part. Anyways, I just wanted let everyone know I got the hoses in a couple of days ago after trimming about 1/8 inch from the drivers side hose. I just used a hack saw and a razor blade and got a very clean cut that you cannot notice. The passenger side almost needed to be trimmed as well but I was able to muscle it on. I also went with the HKS Hybrid foam dry filters and am so far very pleased with them. They seem to work well and the price is hard to beat. The combo is really not bad for the price. It lacks the addition of an agressive sound but the volumn is slighty louder. Most importantly though you can feel the harder pull and quicker throttle response. Now that they are in I am one happy Z driver.
