    Yeah, you definitely didn't need to cut those breather hoses. They were provided at that length to replace the other ones. They are supposed to be re-routed behind the intake manifold. The breather is not supposed to be in the front.

    Correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't the heat shield supposed to be installed under that plastic trim? The way it's installed still allows hot air into the intake.
    Also are the hoses connected to that solenoid flip flopped?

      I’ve seen some like that, but mine doesn’t reach it the side completely, but we did make some adjustments to get it to sit correctly

    Make sure you get those bottom tabs aligned when putting the air box back together. Or you’ll have a leak.

    I'm leaving this here for anyone watching in the future. We send instructions with every one of these parts to avoid some of the things going on here. First, you installed the breather filter for the Carbon intake wrong. You were supposed to remove the lines from the valve cover and run the long hoses and filter to the rear of the engine. What you did here is not correct. Second, the main benefit of the heat shield is to bring cold air in to from the fender and direct it to the air box. It's not supposed to be flapping around like that. I'm only posting so people in the future do not follow this install and read the instructions instead. - RR Racing

    The hoses that was connected to the previous intake tube should've/could've been completely removed.. then you install the breather hose and route it to the back near your fire wall. The hoses were long for a reason.

    You didn't have the directions on how to install that stuff. You have to cut a notch out of the side plastic for the shield to sit correctly and that hose gets routed along the back of the firewall.

    • @hewantsmoke83
      @hewantsmoke83  Рік тому

      I went back and we redid it, but after latching it all down. It’s really no need for the cut. I seen how it’s fits from a guy who did it on his car from a UA-cam video but mine didn’t go that far into the plastic. It fits flush now so I’m happy with it
