Using your Mishimoto silicone induction hose is easy. First, make sure your engine is cool. Remove the old stock induction hose carefully. Then, attach the new Mishimoto hose to the factory components. The fittings are the same size, so it should fit right in. For best results, check for any loose connections after installation. As for maintenance, it's pretty straightforward. Periodically inspect the hose for any signs of wear or damage, like cracks or tears. You can clean it with a mild soap and water solution. Just avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the silicone. If you notice any issues, reach out to us as your hose is covered by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
