Using your Mishimoto silicone induction hose is a breeze. First, make sure your engine is cool before installation. It should take less than 30 minutes to install as it's designed to fit just like the factory part. When driving, the hose will help improve your vehicle's performance. For maintenance, regularly check the hose for any signs of wear or damage. You can clean it with a mild soap and water solution. Keep it away from sharp objects and extreme heat sources. If you notice any issues, contact us as it's covered by our Lifetime Warranty.
