The next decision is placement. Put it above your airbox. Now, where to cut the holes in your hood. Measure from the intake to the outflow holes in your leaf blower. Add six inches. Cut two four inch holes this distance apart. Mark the holes using indelible ink and drill two pilot holes with the drill and a 1/4" drill bit. Using the metal cutting blade on the jig saw, cut the two holes in the hood. Cut away any insulation under the hood with a razor blade and some scissors. You don't need to be too exact in the circles in the hood as the board covers them up and we will seal it up with duct tape anyway.
Hold the plywood against the hood and, using your pen, scribe two circles on the plywood. Drill pilot holes and cut out these holes using the wood blade on your jig saw. Holding the plywood lined up over the hood holes, drill four pilot holes for the mounting screws through the plywood into the hood. Take your self tapping screws and drive them through the plywood into the pilot holes in the hood. (You can substitute bolts and nuts for this if your are the anal retentive type. I didn't see the need. Yet.)
Take the two screw eyes and screw them into the plywood. Place your leaf blower so the intake is over one hole and the outflow points toward the other. Use the bungee cords to secure it to the screw eyes.
Now take your six feet of dryer vent hose and cut it in half. Thread one end through the hole in the hood and slide it over the outflow.
Duct tape it at the leaf blower to seal all leaks and on both sides of the hood. Take the second piece of hose and duct tape it to the intake of the blower. Remove the rubber hose thing that goes between the AFM and the intake manifold.
Attach the intake hose to the AFM using one hose clamp and lots of duct tape. Attach the outflow hose to the intake manifold using the other hose clamp and lots of duct tape.
