I did the same thing only with shop vac hose and attachments. Nobody even knows what the pieces are from unless I tell them. I tell poeple its the latest "SUPER" ram air system.

They fit perfectly and that's with the trans cooler in there. They are real light too. They are real snug with the radiator support bolted in, they don't move at all.
