The stiff smooth design of the Z1 tube is a bit of a bitch to install, but it's worth the effort. Hint loosen the bolt on the air intake box as it allows easier installation.

Yeah, I agree … the Z1 post-MAF tubes were a bi*ch to install. However, I'm talking about the PCV breather hoses that run off the side of the tubes.
