Racing beat intake duct

Does any have a write up for the installation of the RB air duct? I tried following the directions but I can't seem to re-locate the fuse box due to the lines not having enough slack. I've searched the forums but can't find anything on installations. Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for an installation write up for the duct pictured below:

The RB duct is a piece of ****. Send it back, and modify your stock intake properly. Click the link in my sig for info on a "cheap" kit for fixing your stock intake to flow way better than the RB garbage.

What Adam is trying to tell you is that the RB duct was tested and it sometimes reverses the flow IIRC. In general its not a great piece and you can get better results by modifying your stock airbox.

Thanks for all the info guys. Looks like adam's mod is the way to go...but will adam's mod be effective for the HKS RS?

I wouldn't have bought the RB piece. But if it can't be returned, it's probably fine to go ahead and install....with a modified stock airbox. Not sure, but you might hear more noise.

Are you referring to the HKS intake??? The RB duct is meant to work with the stock intake.
