The Engine Intake Hose
Step 01
Position the tab on the flat end of the Intake Air Pipe Left Side over the screw hole on this end of the Inlet Hose Parts, and secure with one (1) EP screw:
Step 02
Fit the Intake Air Pipe Right Side to the Intake Air Pipe Left Side as shown:
Secure these parts together with two (2) EP screws:
Step 03
Fit the Compression Pipe Upper to the end of the Intake Air Pipe assembly as shown, and secure with one (1) EP screw:
Step 04

Thoughts
I do appreciate that there is some custom paint and chrome work on these parts. It helps bring authenticity to the build. Keep this assembly handy as we will add to it in the next phase.
