Default AFE cold air intake trouble :(

hey everybody.

well i just got my AFE cold air intake kit stage 2 on my v6 2006 mustang.

i finished all my installing except for one small thing. the kit came with this aftermarket hose that connects my intake to the engine. well basically i plugged the hose to the intake perfectly fine. but when i connect it to the engine at the other end. the hose wont fit... wat do i do? emi doing something wrong??

this is not my mustang. but im showing example. the yellow arrow is where i connected my aftermarket hose. the white one is the place where im having trouble putting that in.

what happens if i dont use that hose? and does it make a big difference.

thanks

You may need a larger diameter hose.

I'm positive it should, I would contact whoever you bought it from and request help, it should fit.

It's the return for the PCV system.

i had a hard time getting that hose from my jlt on that fitting too, but it will. you have to remove the fitting that plugs into the valve cover from the hard pipe. i had to cut a small slice in the hard pipe to get the plastic elbow fitting off. if you have to, put a drop of oil in the hose to get it over the fitting.

Soaking the hose in hot water may help a little too.
