I'm pretty proficient at following directions and a tad bit mechanically inclined, but these directions definitely leave something to be desired as you all know. I searched the internet for possibly an install video and came up empty so I suppose the next best thing is to get some feedback on if I did this correctly.

1. Put the Air Grabber all together, really no issues. Just want to make sure that I put the front shroud of the Air Grabber that goes down by the horn assembly on the correct way.

2. The Air Grabber seems kind of flimsy and lopsided sitting there without the hood closed, I understand that the hood being closed puts pressure down on top of it and seats it. Has anyone else noticed this?

3. Is this the correct tube from the Air Grabber to the throttle body? It was just orange, really didn't match the picture however I know the instructions are a bit outdated.

Any conformation that I did this correctly would be appreciated.

The best way to properly seat the air grabber is to not tighten the coupling on the throttle body. Close the hood all the way and open it back up. Provided it does not move when you open it (which it shouldnt), tighten down the clamp.

One last question, I see a hole in the tubing running from the vararam to the throttle body, do I need to pull the old connector from the factory tubing and install it in the vararam tubing to plug in the air sensor?

Yes your factory air temp sensor goes in there and the factory connection will still have enough length to reach it as long as you have the Orange tube facing the right way
