Yea if thats the case then you have to get a hose from an autoparts store. They are more then likely gonna give you a gas line. Thats what I had to get for mine. Its tough to get on but it gets the job done.

RE: CAI installation problem
Thanks guys, and Rook6 for being willing to provide pics and such. New problem though. NOW it seems like my car is getting horrible gas
milage. Its not due to a case of lead foot, and it seems to have started after I got my CAI on yesterday. Also, the "Service Engine Soon" light came on after installation, as expected. Only problem is, it hasnt gone away yet. It was my understanding that the ECU only needed about a half hour to recalibrate the MAF sensor. Any suggestions?[&o]
