This is an update to the post I made above.
I had problems attaching the hoses from the valve covers to the k&n tubes.
The valve covers are 5/8", and the supplied hoses are 1/2".
The key is a little bit of extra knowledge, boiling water, and liquid soap.
Before attaching the 1/2" hose to the 5/8" vent covers, put a little bit of liquid soap on the outside of the vent cover, and soak one end of the hose in boiling water for about a minute. You still have to work fast, but it can be done.
