so both more intake boots were torn found out it's a common issue and they ant cheap so bulit an intake for cheaper then cost of both boots here's pics and steps if u wanna make it own

Vibrant Performance

#2881 2.75" 90 degree stainless tube
2x #2897 vacuum adapters
#2753(B) 45 degree silicone elbow
the (B) cuz I got blue if u do (R) it will be red and just 2753 is black
#2773(B) 2.75" - 3.00" silicone reducer coupling
the (B) cuz I got blue if u do (R) it will be red and just 2773 is black
#1997 maf adaptor
* and ur also need 4 2-3" hose clamps hack saw to trim tubing and nice sharp box knife to cut silicone



So sorry I didn't get pics for every step but here we go
1st loosen hose clamps and remove both side hoses and air box lid
2nd remove rubber elbow and straight and hard black plastic thing
3rd trace 45 elbow on ur 45 silicone let there be an extra 1/4" on both sides cut about 2.5-2.75" on 1 side and 2.75-3.00" off other side
4th add reducer to maf sensor and add elbow to upper throttle body
5th lay 90 to see where and how much to trim off 90 u should only have to trim 2.75-3.00" off end that gos into the reducer if u trim off the top then it won't be long enough
6th mark where the vacuum inserts go and drill hole and install
7th add adapter and filter
8th attached every thing tighten clamps make sure everythings installed and ur set

Yea 90 elbow is "turbo" piping and had to drill holes for the vent hose the whole intake is made out of turbo parts vs spectre is most intake parts so harder to come up with ideas vs wat I used spectre is good stuff if u can get all the parts I used vib cuz its wat my shop uses and I get the hook up on lol
