They're threaded on one end and have the nipple on the other, and my vacuum hose I bought ($3 a foot!) fits over it well. I think. We'll see how it goes. I'll update when I've got it installed.

Right now I am testing my first aero mod, which is just a simple grill blockoff in the bumper, so I want to see how that goes before I do these vacuum tubes. I don't have any instrumentation in the car to track fuel efficiency, so its just simple math when I fill up.
Did you get it done?

I am going to be doing this on the wifes jeep JK next weekend...

Today I plan to implement the vacuum controlled valve on the air box on the Dak, looking forward to seeing how performance is affected.
