Just wondering, did you guys have to make any modifications to the tube when you installed it? On my driver side, I cut off a small piece that connects to the airbox. It seemed like it was a little longer. On the passenger side, I made a small cut to where it connects with a compression clamp so I could get a better fit into the throttle body. Even with that it wouldn't go in all the way. I was thinking of shortening that part again. I'd like to know what your experiences were.

 

Hello Keoman,

Sorry to hear you ran into issues during the installation of our silicone hose kit. These hoses are designed as factory replacement units and should not require any modification (assuming the factory airbox is in place).

Our customer service team would be pleased to help you with the issue, and we are interested in taking a look at the hoses you received. If you don't mind, please fill out the form at the link below and we will help identify the root of the concern.

Again, I apologize for the fitment issue!

Thanks

It wasn't too bad. Driver side was fine after just a minor cut on the tube. I'll take a look at the passenger side again and reinstall. I'm not too concerned about it.

 

Mine were much more of a PITA to install than I expected, and I've hand-built and installed engines in several different types of vehicles.


It took about an hour of squeezing and twisting, tightening and loosening, etc before I got mine to fit right. I had to loosen bolts of everything attached and even pulled some non-intake related parts out to give enough room to work.


In the end, though, everything fit correctly.

 

I just had to trim the thumbs or vacuum extensions. Little bit of fighting to get them on the air boxes because they were nice and snug....

 

Thanks for all of the input guys! Sounds like we need to take a look at our most recent batch of kits to see if the hoses are being cut to the appropriate length. We can then make adjustments to the manufacturing process to improve quality control and accuracy.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for the feedback!

No complaints here John. Better a little too long than a little too short. And the 'nice and snug' is perfect to ensure a nice tight seal around the air boxes so no leaks or pulling air from the engine bay. They were perfect IMHO....
