We are newbies, so be gentle. The hoses that come off the fresh air intake box will not attach to the vent part, the vent sticks out too far. The manuals we bought are no help, and we think maybe the parts in there are incorrect as the previous owner kind of did whatever he wanted i.e. stereo wires for the electrical system! Any help on fresh air intakes including parts and where to find diagrams would be appreciated.

Looks about the same as mine. The fresh air box outlets and the dash vent pieces don't line up on mine either. The little flex tube makes up for it and bends to fit. See below of pictures of mine:

Mine is just about the same way. Also if you take that corner air duct off for some reason you will play Pluperfect Hell getting it back in place!
