Eddy, I'm over 60 and it's been a year since this mod so I can't remember if I pushed one end into the other then grafted it with a plastic welder or if I just joined them end to end. The taper you see is from the welder. It works very well and quite stout too. HF has a cheap one. If you follow fellow Krams thread elsewhere on this forum he gives details. I pretty much applied his procedure. The toughest part of the mod is replacing the 986 airbox with a 987 box.

The more I thought about it yes I believe it slipped over then welded. But don't forget the air straightner/combmesh that has to get installed with hot glue gun also.
