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.
