That coupler (the reducer), the big sides goes onto the pipe, the small side to the throttle body.

Thats not the side Im having trouble with, its the filter side.
Both the Couplers look the same, is that right?

ok, I finally got it. Sliced my finger on the pipe while doing it =O.
Damn, I suck, haha. Hope it isnt as hard to get it on the throttle body. ALl the other connections seem super easy.

Just make sure you put the flexible reducer onto the throttle body first , and take your time to make sure there is a good seal between the TB and the reducer, and again between the reducer and the intake pipe. I just installed mine two days ago and learned the hard way.

Good luck...

By the way don't forget to disconnect your negative terminal from the battery to reset the ECU. When your done hook it back up and let her idle for five or so minutes before reving it up. That should allow the ECU time to get to know the intake.

if you cant get the reducer on the pipe, just put the reducer in the microwave for 30 seconds. and it should be more flexible.
