Don't forget to use some silicone lube... won't be able to fit them on without it.

Where would one pick up silicone lube? Home Depot or auto parts store?

And wouldn't excess silicone lube potentially get into the intake duct and get sucked into the engine after the air filters?

Wipe the excess off with a rag. Home depot is where I picked some up.

+1. It doesn't take much to do the trick. Use your finger to carefully apply a thin film to hose and nipple and you may not need the rag.

Most hardware stores and electrical supply outfits will have silicone lube/grease. I've seen it in "ketchup packs" that should be more than enough for your project. IIRC, "bulb grease" for keeping moisture out of lamp sockets is silicone, but check the label.

You don't need grease if you get the Z1 tubes. I performed the installation myself. The key was removing the engine bay stabilizer bar, pulling the airbox up a bit, fitting everything together and pushing it back down into position. With some thought and patience everything should fit without grease or cutting. I can't say the same for other brands tho.

if so it would get burned up, so no biggie. better than before the maf's and getting stuff to those and trashing them
