Good deal! Yes, it clips up under the stock air cleaner tube. If you have an aftermarket Cold Air Intake you will have to secure it with another methoed.

BTW a self serve car wash works great for messes like that... just stay away from electrical connectors and the Air intake system...

On mine it clips to the upper hose. It's never fallen before. I put it back on and put a zip tie on the ends to make sure it stays put.

This was my first time for it to happen. I'll be sure to zip it up if I remove it for now on.
