What do you mean? You should have everything you need. The hoses came with the intake and as the instructions tell you, you were supposed to take the clips off the hard line after you disconnect it. I tried to keep it from leaking when I took it off but I wasn't successfull. Just make sure you have the top part connected, then take off the bottom one and quickly plug in the new one. I lost maybe 1/2 a cup of radiator fluid which is easily refilled. Just make sure the engine is cool to the touch or the radiator fluid will be boiling.
As far as performance, I'd say there isn't a noticable difference. The suction might not be as strong with yours since it has more to travel and if it ever kinks it could really be noticable. But I doubt you can tell the difference unless the hose kinked.
