Using your Mishimoto silicone induction hose is a breeze. First, make sure your engine is cool. Then, remove the old OEM hose carefully. Next, take your new Mishimoto hose and align it with the existing connections. It's designed to fit just like the factory one, so it should slide into place easily. Once it's in, secure all the connections properly. When you're done, start your engine and check for any leaks. As for maintenance, it's pretty simple. Just clean the hose regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the silicone. And always keep an eye on the connections to make sure they stay tight. With proper use and maintenance, your Mishimoto hose will last you a long time thanks to the lifetime warranty.
