Problem Installing Halltech Stinger Please Help :)
I just yanked out my stock airbox to install the Halltech Stinger Intake in my '98 Vette. Everything was going pretty good, then I noticed that the smooth hose that replaces the accordian one doesn't have a hole for the tiny "I'm-not-sure-what-it-does-hose" in the picture.
Did I get the one for the 01-04, or is there something else I can do?
I'd love to get this installed today, so if anyone knows anything let me know.

There is a supplemental instruction sheet you should have received, but it is simple to do.
1) Take the stock airbridge and find the hole on the side of the bellows that corresponds with the vaccum line. Match a drill to that size hole.
2) Pre-intall the Stinger (loosely) and mark where the hole would go by pushing the vaccum line up to the hose.
3) Take the connector hose back off; Drill it with the bit you selected.
4) Clean it up and reinstall the Stinger.

[QUOTE=C6this]Jim your customer service and products are top notch
Jim and his wife were just the best on a issue I had. Just a coupler color issue with my Stinger system. They never forgot me and came through despite a time frame issue. Thanks again Jim. I am glad to be able to thank you on the forum here.

I installed the intake with no problems. I have one concern though; the hose that connects to the filter itself seems like it's being bent at a strange angle. Did I mess up installing it?

This A.I.R pump hose only runs for about 60 seconds when you first start up to deliver fresh air to the exhaust manifold to help burn off extra fuel during the initial fuel enrichment cycle (like the choke cycle).

Mine is angled like this also but it is no big deal, great intake Jim!
