Maybe this will make it more clear. There are 3 separate pieces: air filter, MAF housing, intake tube. The Ried intake tube replaces piece #3. The aftermarket intakes (K&N, Carbonio, etc.) replace pieces #1 and #2.

Sorry kind of off topic, but what are those tubes connecting the intake tubes (item 3)? Vacuum lines? you can PM me, don't want to take away from this thread, just curious.
I just received the intake tubes. They look great except for a small amount of flash inside the PCV tubes. I'm going to trim it off before I install them. Don't want that going into the engine.
That looks great. Nice timing too, I wrapped my Viper's tubes last night.
FYI, it was significantly more difficult to get the hoses on with the gold tape on them. I ended up using a flat blade screw driver to help pop the silicone on the throttle bodies (unnecessary without gold.) So if you have a hard time, it might be worth removing some of the gold near the end you install last, then re-wrap that section once the hose is installed.
I installed my tubes today. I also cleaned the MAF sensors and throttle bodies while I was at it because my car had thrown a lean code one time. I took it for a drive, and everything seems good. It could be my imagination, but it seems like there is a little more whistling sound from the intake with the new tubes.
There is more sound, the accordion section of the stock intakes acts as a muffler for that noise. The whistling sound is air going over the throttle plates, as you probably could tell, it changes with your throttle input.
Just installed these yesterday, happy with the look of them in the engine bay. Going to test them out on the road this evening.
Thanks ULTIMATEPD and white_out for the help and fast processing for these!
