You don't need much. I used a 2-way hose connector and a pair of pliers. Both sides had 1/4" nipples I think. Just pull the two hoses off the TB and connect them back w/ the connector. Some people use rubber caps to cap off the in / out on the TB, but I didn't.

Simple. so simple you'll be shocked. (2) rubber 1/4" caps to cap off both sides of the TB. A 1/4" metal pipe or hose connector about 4"-6" long. And (2) 1/4" hose clamps.

It takes about 5-10 min. to do after you remove you airbox assembly

you don't have to remove the airbox assembly. just disconnect the intake tube from the TB and gently move it out the way.

keep us updated on the GMS intake. it claims more hp/tq gain the the airraid and K&N. but the GMS MAF also claimed gains and its hurt more people than its help from what i've read.
