Well, your going to actually have to cut it (unless you can find where it attaches and try to slip it off) to get the new piece on, then reconnect it running thru the same hole as the two heater connects are.. But, just dont cut it in 5 pieces like I did.

I pulled mine off at the end of summer because i blew and line. Hell i may keep it off it looks so much cleaner under the hood, But i will not take out the whole box i just put some rubber caps on the AC ends

Also with the AC condenser gone my lid/air filter gets twice the air it used to

Ilikeppie just remember the elevation is going to screw you badly. Dont get upset at a low 12 second pass because remember that would be an 11 second pass at sea level.

Right now I bet im running mid 14's. I will see when I run this year.
