I have my junk mail filter set really high so your email probably got trashed...if you need to write me, put camry in big block letters in the subject line...or something that'll catch my attention (but not "Enlarge your breasts naturally"!)

The hose fittings can be found in the plumbing section of Home Depot, etc...I think it's called a MIP adapter. It's basically a nipple with a threaded end. I forgot the sizes, I think the one for the PCV hose is 3/8"...I really can't remember. You'll have to just test it out on your hose, they're like $2 each. The top one is a bit bigger, but you'll have to match it to the hose you use...I think I used a hose with a 1/2" inner diameter. The different sizes are like 3/8", 1/2", and 5/8"s. Basically I just drilled a hole and threaded that sucker in there, pretty simple.

thaNKS A BUNCH any difference to the sound or hp gain with that peice instead of the stock one...u would think the sound would change a bit?

I can't even remember what my car sounds like stock, it's been awhile. Elegant is the one to ask as he changed that piece as well without removing the stock airbox. It'll probably add a bit of a growl. The reason why I changed that piece was because that black rubber part was ugly and I wanted to see if I could make it. But it should (theorectically) give better air flow to the engine...all those little ridges cause turbulance. HP increase is probably so minimal that you wouldn't even notice it...but I'm sure it doesn't hurt and plus it looks nice.
