Default Silicone MAFS install

What a PITA. Unclamped both sides of tube and then had to squeeze clamp turned upside down in middle of tube. Unbolted engine bar and then had to take air filter housing out because tube is too long and folded on me. 1 hour later 1 side done. It would have been easier to remove bumper. Is there a better way for the other side PLEASE.

Nope, they are just a bitch to install.... I posted a thread a little while ago with my experience.

The tube just seem too long and it would pinch or fold. Then the clamps wouldn't be reachable unless you bought the correct pliers. I had to lift bar to squeeze it out. Inserting tube back in made me take the air box out.Then it wouldn't press down into the hole of bolivian where light source can't go. I hope the passenger side is easier and it was worth the bother. Any helpful hints PLEASE. ERRRR.
