Read the instructions first. Short ram should be real easy, 1hr. max.

What i dont understand is the hoses. There is two hoses welded together, i think the one is anti-frezze, but the other goes to the intake. It came with one hose for that part. What do i do with the other hose that is the anti-frezze. Remeber there two are welded together.
thanks alot

I had the same question when I installed my cai. You are correct, the other hose is for coolant. You need to go and get 2' of 5/16 fuel line, then instead of running the line around the front of the engine, run it around back and trim to fit. Take off your engine covers and you will see the easiest / cleanest way to run that hose. Spend a little time and think it through, you will be successful. Any other questions, let me know.

I had the same ?'s when I was trying to insall my Weapon R intake. The instructions are not too great.

Just remove the existing Air Box, remove the connecting hoses and extension. Install the Intake and place both hoses on the intake pipe. (it has space for both). If you go to their website, they have a picture of our car with the Weapon R Intake in it. (I think it is moomaster's). Just make sure ours looks like that.
It is a very easy process. Probably took a little over an hour.

***A word of warning before you install this intake. It makes a constant humming noise when idling. Loud enough to be heard from inside the car. I think the short ram design creates a resonating effect that can get quite annoying. Personally I am used to it and gives my car a unique touch

Just thought I would warn you though. Good luck
