I could get it hooked up but then it puts a bad kink in the main intake hose. I tired both tubes and same problem on the right side.
Both of my HPS intake tubes are exactly alike. Is there suppose to be a right and a left? The tubes came in separate plastic bags with different part numbers on them, but they are the same. I worked on this project for two hours (most all of that was scratching my head) which should have taken 15 minute for the whole thing. Bottom line is that I didn’t like what I saw so put it all back to stock.
They sent you two left side hoses. The hoses are not identical. When installed, the HPS logo is on the top of both hoses, even though on the left side the logo is hidden under the tower brace. I would definitely call them. They screwed up and should send you the correct pieces with free shipping.
