Need some help....I just installed the stock air box back on my car. When I bought the car it never had the stock air box it already had a K&N cold air kit on it. So I am not sure how this tube connects. It slides in the hole but there is nothing keeping it in there. 2 times now I have been driving and it has come out and got caught in my fan. Am I missing something here? What holds this tube in to place?

That rubber tube is NOT factory, so it will not hook up to the factory intake.

The factory comes with a tube, that has a weird end on it if I remember correctly that snaps into the factory intake baffle thing.

FYI, you are currently sucking outside air that isn't going past the MAF since that tube isn't sealed

OP, As Vroom mentioned you are missing correct tube to connect to the stock box. The rubber tube will not work as it will not seal properly. The rubber tube was put there to accommodate and aftermarket CAI.

I'm not sure of the part #, but it's (the tube) probably only around $10-15 from the dealer.

The nipple that protrudes off of the stock air tube baffle looks to have been broken/cut off from yours. Not only do you need the hose assembly, you might need a new tube as well. Just curious why switch from the previously installed K&N CAI? Too noisy?

Nothing is broken of, he just has a replacement rubber hose instead of the stock PVC air tube.
