I just left em. I got a ziptie and wrapped it around the CAI pipe and through the hoses and let it hang there. Especially down here, it's totally useless. If you wanted to get serious, you can go back and plug the hoses where they connect (I didn't get that ambitious so I'm not 100% sure where that is) and pull the whole thing off.

BTW, awesome sig pic. :thumbup:

Looks awesome. Did you cut the brake duct like you were supposed to?

In the pic of the sock, it doesn't look like there's a brake duct in at all. LOTS of area to draw air from.

Right you are. That's what I get for looking at the pics of the pipe and skimming past the last one.

I didn't do any cutting, all i did was move the horns aside and everything fit in okay

You're missing your brake ducts. Get your brake ducts installed, but cut a flap in the drivers side one to direct some air to the CAI. Right now your CAI is getting all the air in the world, but the brakes aren't getting the directed cooling, and who knows where ambient temp sensor is....:rofl:

Notice his nice HID fogs and all the wiring is just dangling there. It is for protecting wiring and associated parts. It is not there just for looks.

the two hoses are connected to your throttle body thermostat. I used a $2.00 brass connector to bypass it.
