Those who have installed the evo intake. How did you get the silicone coupler over the intake tube?

I either have a silicone coupler that is too small or I need to figure out a way to stretch the hose over the tube.

Any thoughts?

Default did your kit come with a "hump" connector ?

we had a few kits that recently showed up for resale with a hump style silicone connector that was easier to fit INSIDE the tube than over. It seems there might have been some packing errors.

Default Yes, I did, after a couple of hours trying to stretch that hump shaped coupler, I gaveup.

I went to a race supply store and bought a silicone hose that actually fit. Its a lot easier to put a slightly larger hose on and clamp it down, than to attempt to stretch the smaller hose over the opening.

Oh btw, thanks for Evo motorsports lack of customer support. I'm still waiting for a return call.
