DPP Cool Intake Hose fitment

[sevobuck]

So, I received my intake hose from DPP a couple days ago and have now installed a 6. 7 intake box on my 5. 9. I am having an impossible time getting the intake hose to fit onto the 6. 7 lid. Just about every time I get the S. O. B. to go over the lid hole it pops off the other side of the hole or the tube collapses and i can't get it to fit. #@$%! I'm not quite sure how to get the thing to fit! I've tried lubricating the tube but that doesn't appear to help too much. I will say that with multiple attempts it is getting easier but dang, this is about to kill me. Any tips would be appreciated from anyone else... .

Try soaking the end of the hose in HOT water for a few minutes before trying to slip it on... the heat should make it expand a little bit.

sent pm. you are making it to hard. i was lazy and did not want to go to town for parts. i found a plastic pipe that fit snug into the tube and box, this gives the clampe something to tighten down on ,on the tube i looked around for a hose to go over them but did not find any but i did see a roll of gas pipe wrap, it was exactly the width i wanted i built the next 5 the same way

Not meaning to be nasty but you did order the 6. 7L hose, right. Because there is a difference in diameters at the airbox between the 6. 7 and 5. 9.



On the subject of the DDP hose, that smooth tube from air box to turbo certainly is the cleanest path for air flow compared to the convolutes and sharp edges with the stock rubber couplers and gutted resonator. Anybody had any issues with air box mounts cracking since the DDP hose has no convolutes for engine roll flex. I have seen some significant damage to air box mounts with the stock convoluted ducting on an admittedly tough engine roll lab test.

John,



No offense taken and yes, I'm an idiot. I did not realize there was a difference in the diameters. I ordered a reducer from a silicone intake supplier online and will let you all know how it works out. Thanks for the reply
