Don't cut them. put them on the air box side first, then PUSH them down on the throttle body side. Get it to where its over the bottom of the TB. Then take a screw driver and stretch it around the top and then they slip up onto the TB. Passenger side is a little easier I think

I also think that since they fit so snugly, you don't have to put the metal clamps back on. A much cleaner look.

We've tried taking the air box out and trying to fit them on, still not enough room. I'll post back with results of trying a second time, however the tubes are bigger than stock and they don't flex light the stock because the stock tubes have round ribs running through the middle which flex when they're bent making them a snap to put on.

Thanks for the replies guys.
