The front air intake to the air filter box pipes keep falling off and sitting under the connection to the filter box, no matter how often I try and re position them they go back to the same place. Has anybody got a fix for this?

They are usually attached to the box, as well as the radiator support.....Mike

Do you know what they are attached with? i.e. glue, screw, fixing type ;-)

The snorkel, that feeds the air to the air box from in front of the radiator is held on by a screw and washer on the radiator support. I do not know what holds the snorkel to the air box. I am sure any way, other than duct tape would be acceptable.....Mike

I recently had the air cleaner apart on my 3.0 X-type. When you remove the upper cover to access the air cleaner and remove it there should be 2 fasteners in the corners closest to the front bumper. These screws hold the bottom of the box to the sides of the box. the 2 air horns coming into the box face are held onto the radiator support by two screws that are connect to 2 nuts inside rubber isolators.
if the air horns are falling off the face of the box then they are broken off and probably can't be repaired. The previous owner had a PCV hose failure and substituted the right part for a piece of heater hose. his repair broke the mount of the air cleaner resonator. I attempted glue repairs without success. if you download the SNG Barret parts catalog and go to page 36 you can see a blow up of the air cleaner. it doesn't show the interior fasteners since the bottom is sold as one piece even though it is 2 pieces.
