Do I need to clamp the side that attaches to the air box? It appears to fit snug. I did clamp the side to the throttle body....thanks!

I can't imagine NOT clamping it. Why wouldn't you?

I have the bellow on mine and I clamped it on. My main prob was with the clearance of the bellow, because it rubbed on my hood liner because of the extra bulge in the middle.

Clamp both ends - there's a lot of vibration between the engine and the air filter.

I used two clamps on the throttle body side and one clamp on the air box side. Also noticed ,since I added this, the same marking on the hood liner as the post above stated.
