Using this Mishimoto silicone turbo inlet hose is easy. Just remove your old stock hose and replace it with this one. It's designed to fit just like the original. When installing, make sure all connections are tight to prevent air leaks. As for maintenance, check the hose regularly for any signs of wear or damage, like cracks or tears. Keep it clean by wiping it down with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the silicone. Also, don't over - tighten the clamps when attaching the hose to avoid causing any deformation.
