OK folks, how exactly is the clamp supposed to go on this sucker? From what I've seen in the pics (which by the way suck) it appears that the clamp goes around half of the Cold Air horn, while the rear part goes inside the horn?

I am used to putting the clamp around the outside and just tightening the crapola out of it, but it appears that does no secure it very firmly to the airbox bottom. I've got pics, but haven't had time to upload them anyplace, but as soon as I do I will post pics about what I am talking about if still needed.

if i remember correctly, and understand what you're saying... yes, the lower 'horn' goes on the outside of the air box and you tighten the crapola out of a tube clamp on the outside of the air horn.

Clamps like any other hose clamp. It goes around the outside of the horn & clamps down.

I thought I had tightened the crap out of it, but apparently didn't tighten enough of the 'crap' out of it because it fell off.

I guess i'll attempt to tighten it up a little more once I get the car out of the shop. Thought it was a little strange because of the way the end of the air horn had two slits in it. Anyone know what the purpose of those slits is for?

The “slits” probably allow the pipe to compress out of round a bit without the plastic cracking.
Otherwise you’d never be able to tighten it up.

Damn, I hope mine didn't fall out!

Shawn beat me to it.

mine has fallen off twice and i really torqued the shit out of it last time to get it to stay. kinda crappy design in my opinion.

Put some silicon adhesive on it before you put it on.

mine kept falling off too cuz i was scared of over tightening the clamp and cracking the plastic. but i got annoyed and tightened it, gotta check it again to see if it's come off.
