LET Tube Intake

Hi.
I am trying to put together the let tube intake and I can't get the damn filter to go under the rubber tube connector. Is it supposed to be really tight or am I just doing something wrong?

My filters are HKS, 150-80 is what's written on the filter, but on the box it says
"Size 150X90"
"Diameter 80"

Is that what everyone else has?
maybe it's just that the rubber tubes are too tight. I have blue ones.

The rubber tube diameter is 74mm, the filter is 83 1/2mm (including the walls) can anyone confirm this? LET?

sounds odd. In my intake, the rubber tube coupler is larger than the tubes and filter, and needs to be cranked down a bit to get it to stay connected.

Did you get the intake off another member or from LET directly?

Got it from the man himself
Went to autozone biggest they had was smaller than the one I have. I think a decent mechanic shop should have one.

Okay, I've been running around all morning and nobody seems to have them in a big enough size.

Where can I find one for sure besides the internet? I heard plumbing supplies should have it, will check that also.
