Default Install Short Ram

Okay, here's my problem. I'm trying to install a Short Ram into my 01 4 Cylinder Accord and I'm almost done except for the end. I still have this little nipple like thing on my intake pipe and two extra hoses that the AEM intake came with and I don't know what I'm supposed to connect them to. Could someone provide some pictures because the instructions are useless to me since I'm not familiar with all the terms they're using. Thanks

Unfortunately, I don't. If someone with the same model car as me could post a close up picture of their Short Ram installed, that would be great.

One is a breather tube for you valve cover and the other is a coolant line to the TB.

Yes, I believe I might know what you're talking about. Those two lines seemed to be welded together. I removed that and directly linked the coolant to the throttle body and connected a separate hose that didn't come with my AEM intake with from the intake pipe to what I think is the breather hole? That little nipple of a hole is on top near where the spark plugs are. I hope I'm not being too vague or confusing...

Thats correct. That's not too vague.

He completely removed the coolant/breather hardline.

I completely removed that thing that I circled and have a small hose going from what I believe to the coolant to what I believe to be the throttle body. Instead of using that thing that I circled is actually a plastic hose with clamps that I bought from an auto parts store. Am I doing things right by not using the stock hose or the hose that AEM gave me? I couldn't connect the hose that AEM gave me from the intake pipe to the valve cover. I want to use the hose that AEM gave me because it is thicker and mine is really thin and flimsy.
