They should still be available. Mine took several months to come in as whipple did not have them in stock.

You reuse the stock hoses, but it does come with the couplers and hose clamps. No other parts required as it is otherwise a direct replacement.

MTV8 - i see that you have two round holes cut into to bottom of your airbox in the front. it appears that the holes are reinforced somehow? what did you do to reinforce the holes?

I have finally given my GT a name. I call her "Bad Stripper" because she takes my money and leaves me wanting more....

The trim rings are more cosmetic than for reinforcement as the hole saw left the edges rough and unfinished looking. They are actually cable grommets that you may see on a desk or table allowing wires to pass through. They extend into the airbox, and while I have no data to back it up, I would think they help keep the the cool air coming in through the clamshell from rushing out the holes.
