    I finally got time to install mine after work today, i was wondering if it's in right or wrong.. lol

    I installed it according to the instructions + volant youtube video. Problem is the one in the video was different as well as the picture of it in the instructions. I had it one way so that the MAF sensor was on the bottom and the 1/8th breather nipple was facing towards the radiator. Even with the extension hose and nipple it was about 6-7 inches shy to wrap around.

    I turned it the only other way it would fit and the MAF sensor was on top, 1/8th breather line attatched without a problem and just re-routed the 5/8th breather with the stuff they included.

    I took the truck for a run and it sounds and feels right.. just curious if anyone knows if the 5/8th breather is supposed to be closest to the volant box itself or closer to the throttle body. I just installed it the way i could with what i had, easy fix if it's wrong though. Thanks guys

    Still curious

    Also is it ok to spray the top of the engine without it getting in anywhere? Now that the engine cover is off it's filthy and wanna know if I have to be cautious

    Might be a little different than the other years as mine is 05-11 and on the video it shows it on the back side. Sounds right though, it really brought my dual exhaust to life and getting more pedal response
