Lesson learned, the intake doesn't see any pressure so it doesn't need to be super tight, it just can't fall off. If you can wiggle it by hand and it stays together then it's good enough.

Good point. It looks great in the engine bay compared to stock--created all kinds of room for my catch cans, etc. I will have to get use to the sound, though!

I love the sound

I have heard with the upgraded turbo it is only going to get louder...so get ready.
