Nice write-up.
Even easier installation if you have a cold-air intake
I did not have an issue with the bushing that required me to remove the pain-in-the-ass clip, but I can see why it may be an issue.
I didn't have spreader pliers, so what I found is that if you get one side of the whatchamacallit on and under the lip of the bushing, you can slide it around and get it on. That was the only hard part I had, only because I was without proper tools :/
