Do they have the ribbed part on the inside of the boot?

Definitely looks like the aftermarket taller filter cap. Hopefully he's not running a stock filter...I made that mistake when I first got into 6.0s...

Notice that the OEM clamp had staple holes to staple the clamp to the coupling on the connection to the turbo. Still waiting on a response from Riff Raff, but did you guys staple your Riff Raff coupling like OEM?

Likely the staples are there to make the CAC quicker to install on the assembly line.
That way the line worker does not have to pick up a clamp and try to get it on the
right direction or pick it up after dropping it on the floor.
Time is money and dropped parts and tools add up.
