Berk Intake install problem

Installing my berk run into a frustrating but small problem. Couplers fit fine over the berk tube but I can't get the big vac line into the bottom of the berk tube. It feels like its too small for it. Solutions with people who had this problem? First timer with installing an intake

Might need to get adapters (tube to hose and vice versa). Home Depot will have options for you.

big vac line? What are you talking about. No wait... you mean the VC breather tube? Are you using the right lead, because there are 3 vacuum connectors for the 3.0.

Oh, look... new smilies!

My terminology sucks. I don't know what from what. But common sense I saw the three lines that went into the attachment off the MAF an connected those three too the tube. The bigger one of the three.

So the two smaller hoses are secured, but you can't get the VC breather line connected because it's too small... is that right?

Someone else will surely give you exact advice because they faced the identical problem, however I suspect all you need to know is where your nearest Advance Auto store is. Or as mandyfig said... Home Depot.

g'luck, OP.

Installed thanks though! I got videos but honestly it's not as loud as I thought. Idk if my catback and race pipe effect it but I've seen other videos an it'd much louder
