Next, the factory hose and airbox were removed. | 
A CGS air tube was connected to the factory air intake manifold with a urethane sleeve and stainless hose clamps. |
The factory air-sensor tube was connected to the CGS air tube with a stainless hose clamp. | 
After installing the air tube mounting bracket, using an inner fender mounting bolt, a nut driver was used to secure the stainless hose clamp around the K&N cotton/wire mesh air filter element, which secured the air tube to the mounting bracket. |
With the massive factory airbox removed and replaced, the more efficient CGS air intake system produced a 10.3hp gain. | |
