If that doesn't work, try using a hair dryer on the rubber to make it softer and more plyable.

Ya I was thinking of doing that. Just didn't have anytime to get around it. Its night now, so I'd thought I'd ask you guys and get your opinions !!

Stick a small standard screwdriver (flat head) and pry the rubber away frm the pipe. It's probably so tight, that the rubber is stuck to the pipe. While you do tis, spray a little water to help losen it up. REMEMBER to clean up any water afterwards.
You can use WD40 instead of water if you want.

I say WD-40,
Don't worry if the connection at the throttle body comes off, you can just losen the clamp and put it back on, no big deal.
In fact when I switch from short ram to CAI I take the whole thing out and clean it.

You're = YOU ARE.
Your = the possessive.
