I did find the below quote on their site interesting though, especially since I have noticed that several of the CAI manufacturers have switched to the "hump" style.

"This is a must have for any intercooler that is connected solidly to the body. Engines have a rocking motion and piping must be allowed some free play to avoid damage to the intercooler end tanks. Each pipe should have a minimum of one hump hose per pipe."
This makes good sense. That's probably why GM put the accordian coupler in there to begin with.

I can't find a 4"-3.75" X 4.5"L silicone reducer.
I found a 4"-3.75" X 4"L and am thinking of using a throttle body spacer to make up the missing 1/2".
Has anyone tried this yet?

Crap, I just realized you guys were talking about the LS2 application. My MAF is 4" so I guess I don't need a reducer. I'll look for a hump hose...

That was my technique to getting them on.




Though out where you are buddy, a few minutes on the pavement in the sun would work too....
