Passenger side might need to have the stock airbox removed for proper fitment. At least, that's what I had to do. Also, a butter knife helps tight spots. Good luck!

I/ve had both air boxes loose...will the silver pieces come off the silicone easily?

Should. Nothing a little elbow grease can't solve otherwise.

That's how it is from the start. You don't remove anything from the maf tubes... :icon17:

Yes you do. The tubes ship with a silver round insert in the parts that connect closer to the engine. It has to be removed.

That part goes in the other tubes... I've had them, they worked just fine.

Nope. The ones I received were the same size as where "they should go." No way in hell those things stay in.

XwChriswX 04-01-2013 10:59 PM

I'm not sure what to tell you then, I've installed them on mine and 2 other cars with no problems. :ugh2:
