My new HPS post MAF tubes installed

elmz · 04-26-2011, 10:23 AM

Wow, I didn't have any issues installing this. There really isn't any need to remove the strut. The first thing I realized was the HPS clamps were too difficult to work with so I used the stock clamps. I also thought at first the passenger side was not a perfect fit until I did a side by side comparison. And to my surprise, they were identical in side and shape(user error). The hardest part was getting the tubes to hook up with the air box. But these tubes are pretty durable so don't be afraid to bend or scuff them.

you didn't have a problem with the breather pushing down on the HPS tube? You can notice it where the tube starts to bend... I checked out pics that people have posted on here, and it looks like its doing the same on them, so maybe thats normal or not a big deal? I wish there was a way to remove the stock crank case vent hose and add a new, more flexible one instead of the hard plastic that goes into the intake tube. This is what seems to be giving me the most trouble for whatever reason...

i just put the breather on and did not put it back on its holder. it seems sturdy enough to hold its own. plus my tubes are round all the way for better air flow.

How were those clamps hard to work with. ? Installed the tubes and then installed the clamps. The clamps come apart !!! Also side by side my tubes were different. I took them out of the plastic before installation and just placed them on to the stock tubes to identify which one went where..
