Feel like you definitely need hose clamps for the connection near the block. It just pops off with little pull pressure

[@OptimizedDIY]

Wouldn't hurt, but they felt secure to me without any.

[@angelbroche8126]

Do you not put clamps on the skinner hoses?

[@OptimizedDIY]

No

[@Ttow49]

Do these need to be tuned when adding a intake and cat back exhaust

[@OptimizedDIY]

No

[@jonnysnipes3123]

does the filter not get water or dirt on it with the housing being open like that?

[@OptimizedDIY]

Not really. That rubber gasket seats against the underside of the hood when closed so imagine that little corner is basically enclosed when the hood is shut. But even if it gets a little water on it, that's not an issue. The filter is also oiled. As for dirt, the point of any filter is to filter out dirt; all filters of all kinds - even the restrictive OEM systems - come in contact with quite a lot of dust and debris.

@@OptimizedDIY good to know thanks

That’s an expensive hot air intake you installed. If it is an aftermarket Air Intake and doesn’t have an enclosed filter box then I don’t want it. I monitor my IAT temps. Mine never goes above 120 degrees. With this setup you’re running close to 160 degrees IAT’s.

Indeed. Thanks.
