Default Wrong hoses for 350z Dual Injen Cold Air Intakes?

Are these hoses the right ones?
i just got these CAI from my local shop and when i look at the logo, it seems to be facing the wrong way?

i looked the instructions and other people's installations and the "Injen" logo is facing upwards. if i were to install this, it would be facing sideways...


SHould i worry about it?

I dont think it makes a difference...they look like they are the correct part regardless of the logo

that tube looks identical to both of mine, they probably just f'd when putting the logo on the hose is my guess. should just slide right onto the chrome/black intake tube and it will be angled down towards your rad.

haha thank you guys. Installation will be on saturday!

i have a few questions, how do you shave the air ducts? b2autodesigns told me with a razor blade but is that enough?

anyone notice a significant sound? i cant tell by watching the videos.

and how long would installation be? i heard 3-4 hours and that seems overkill for just dual intakes.

when i installed mine, i never shaved the ducts at all... being that the hose is rubber i just shoved the little bugger through the holes, worked fine for me :S.... i just got mine a month ago and my filters are blue also... probably just a change from year to year?

you'll be fine, just follow their instructions step by step and you should be done in a jiffy!
