The pipe itself does. But since it is beaded at each ends and the pipe is 3.5" in size and our intake box and throttle body are 3", they gave me the reducer silicone hoses. The combination of the reducers and beaded ends on the carbon pipe, it prevented me from slipping the silicone hoses all the way onto the carbon intake pipe

Damn. You would think they would have test fit the prototype and the first few production models to make sure everything was g2g before selling them.

Got a hold of the seller. He will ship out a replacement one with 1/2" trimmed down from each ends of the pipe. I hope this works. It looks great in the engine bay!
