installed Injen intake today. Need some assistance. Options

[JasonX]

Hi everyone! Installed my Injen intake today. But, gotta few questions. On the directions it is talking about a "stock check valve", which was suppose to be on my old intake duct. When I looked at my old one, that hose wasn't there. There was a bolt covering it instead. So, I couldn't put that valve where I put the "blue question mark". Is it real necessary? If so, i'll go get one. Also, it mentions to plug the stock vacuum hose over the 3/8" nipple under the intake by the T/B. Is that where I put the "red circles"? The 2 red circles are the same line. it connects from T/B to the small diameter pipe under the intake. The "yellow line" is where the line used to be before the Injen. Please look into how I did it and let me know if it is correct. Also, does this intake just sit in there or does it require any other type of securing?

thanks a bunch.

thats the trouble with metal intakes, it gets the heat from the engine.

what you could do is put a heat shield along the intake piping?

but nice work what kind of whistle does it make?

i'm not sure if it's a whistle. it's more like a nice real deep tone when you accelarate hard. when you drive steady, sound just like before. so, i really like it. I feel a little difference on responsiveness as well.
