Crackle paint is horrible to spray.
I normally ignore all the warnings on spray can's but with this crackle stuff you really need to adhere to them.
You may have to fabricate a connection to the Airfilter/MAF assemble because IIRC the standard black hose doesn't connect very well to the japspeed/samco. I had to use an SFS/Samco hose and half pulled the ally sleeve out of the japspeed/samco to secure the hose clips of both hoses.
When cutting the silicon hose, tighten a hose clip in the desired position for the cut, then run a new bladed Stanley knife around the edge of the hose clip. This gives a nice straight cut, but make sure the clip/join on the hose clip is at the bottom of the hose because you will get a little ridge/bump in the cut where the knife skirts around the clip/join.
