I wonder if I could have a piece of 4" exhaust bent to the right shape and just get rid of the rubber tube altogether...

I thought the common way to join the filter to the intake was to use a short piece of 4" exhaust??!? No matter, I think rather than try to scrape up enough tubing with the proper bends I'll go buy a 3" 45 deg. PVC coupler and a couple feet of pipe and just rig it up that way. I desperately want my K&N to go away and to get the big boy in there!

I agree and I hope no one sees the tape. Although it is aluminum and wont frey like duct tape..lol The K&N is a plastic tube and I have not found a fitting that works. What I need is the stock tube. Any one have one they might want to part with?
Or where can get one online?

It don't get that cold down here. It's over 70* today and will be getting warmer.

Who is it that is having the problem with the OEM rubber tube working, just the early 99 trucks? ZX250 made doing mine appear to be so easy I had to wonder why I drove the 75 mile round trip for his help. But I did get to meet a great member, so I sure ain't complaining.

My problem is no way to hook the filter to the stock air tube for one, for two I'm not sure I wouldn't need to just ditch the stock air tube back back to the CCV fitting to make it work. Right now if I could just find something 4" OD to stuff into the filter and test fit it I'd be happy! I'll go snap a pic here in a bit of my intake, stand by.

Mike- I spent some time wrenching tonight and pulled most of the airbox assembly out (still need to pull the batt and remove the last piece). I dropped the 6637 in there and it was about 1.5" above the fender, so by the time I remove that bottom tray I should be good. I just hope my stock intake hose will reach the filter easily.
Like I mentioned earlier, I have an early 99, but my intake is late 99 (see the photos, pulls air through the grille). The end of the filter wouldn't quite squeeze into the stock intake hose, but it was cold and I didn't try really hard. I'm going to take the CCV coupler to town tomorrow and see if I can find a PVC coupler of the same OD to patch everything together.
My exhaust should be here tomorrow too, so I might have some extra 4" tubing to work with but it's aluminized so I'd have to paint or otherwise coat the inside to keep it from rusting.
Long story short, I think I can make it work but it will take some tinkering. I'm a crafty guy though, and one way or another that dang filter will be installed before the weekend is over!

Forgot to add- I pulled the whole intake off tonight to check the turbo because of the dusting from the K&N. While the wheel doesn't look exactly perfect, I was pleased to find it was in really good shape (the edges are somewhat shiny and have minor imperfections, the bearings were tight) so at least I don't have substantial turbo damage from the dust going through the filter.
