Intake Install ?s

A couple of questions. I'm looking at buying this off of Ebay. I have a 2001 RS. I've installed intakes before on other cars, however I am new to the Subaru world. Questions:
1. Is this a bad thing to buy? IE waste of money?
2. What are those little tubes sticking off the main pipe, and what connects to them? Never seen that before when putting in intakes.

Any other words of wisdom appreciated.

Thanks.

Replied to your question on Scoobymods but like I said the filter and connector are on the wrong ends to start. Also, flip it 180° , you want the filter on the left of the motor after you swap the parts.

the tubes go to the vacumn lines off the cylinder head, think it is just oil blow off, one of the hoses will be too short to reach though, but yeah, filter and adapter are on wrong sides in pic. also the filter hits the paint inside the engine compartment and because it has no way of being fastened down, it rubs the paint off when the engine vibrates or torques. fyi

Just double checking, but due to the fact that the tubes are too short, I would just need to go to any car parts store and buy vacuum tubing right? Thanks

yeah, no big deal at all. you dont even really need em, i mean im sure they are there for a reason, but it is safe to run without them, but it doesnt look good and people will probably ask you "what is that hose supposed to go to?" but answer is yes, any parts store should have a vacumn line, you could probably find colored ones at VIP or Autozone or somewhere like that
