I already have my gears getting them installed next weekend, I' ve had them ther just sitting in the box just haven't had the time. On the other hand with the air filter how well does the fenderwall mount one work compare to the engine bay is the heat difference that much.

it's a rubber tubing like thing (i guess that explains it) that connects from your filter box into your fenderwall. You might not have it. someone else could of already taken it out
