^i could be wrong but i think the accordion end comes from the stock g-tube. you just take it off your g-tube and hook it on to the stillen tube. if you pick up a z-tube itll have the whole bracket.

^ Actually, he's correct. Stillen only makes one type of z-tube which they sell either individually, or as an intake combo. Whichever you get, you still need to use the couplers from the stock g-tube. The OEM z-tube comes with it's own couplers.

"Accordian ends" = couplers.

It's all good dude. My guess is that all those compartments on the g-tube had something to do with it.
