I installed my tubes today. All in all, I'd say it went rather well. I did not remove the cross-member. I started to, but it seemed like a lot of work and a real pain in the a**, so I figured if others were able to do it, why not try.

The thing I did do to make install easier is use a spray bottle with an alcohol solution in it. Alcohol evaporates very quickly, so I sprayed it on the silicone tube and the air box lead, to act as lubrication and get the tube to slide on easier. It worked. Just a bit of wrestling and some alcohol spray, and I had both sides done in about an hour.

Silicone spray is a must have for installing silicone hoses. Thanks for supporting us!
