Also the filter on the new one just slides together, old one was hard to get in there. On the same track, can you tell me what the inside diameter of that red piece of silicone that attaches the vararam to the MAF is?

on the old one maybe (I only saw the old one installed on a friends car) but the new one is a fairly sturdy product, I have no complaints.
