Anybody else run into this one?
I was attempting to install a set of K&N short intakes on my car this afternoon ('10 370z Tour/Sport), and everthing was going fine until it was time to connect the new intake tubes to the valve cover vents. K&N thinks the hoses are one size, when in reality they are another size (i.e the hoses that they gave me are too small to fit on the valve cover vent connectors). Anybody else run into this or have any suggestions?? And of course, now I have to spend part of tomorrow putting everything back to stock ![]() Update: Saturday, 9/11/10 The key is 3 tries, 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.
