connect the silver pipe (called mid pipe) to the throttle body with the 3-2.5" rubber coupler.connect the maf tube in line between the mid pipe and maf adapter plate (use the 3" rubber coupler from mid pipe to maf tube). connect the filter with maf adapter to maf tube with 4 bolts and nuts.

the sensor on the stock intake snorkel is the mass air pressure sensor - tie it somewhere with a zip tie - so it doesn't get damaged.

type in hai, cai or wai in the search and look through the older threads - should have pics.

are you high takin those sideways pics

i think i've figured it out. 1 pic - map sensor - just mount it somewhere out of the way (zip tie somewhere)2 pic - air intake temp sensor - needs to be somewhere inisde the intake between the filter and the maf.3 pic - that's the maf and if you disconnect/get rid f it you won't get anywhere.

hoses to the mid pipe - parts store or a garden hose - always shorter because the stock resonator is larger than a 3" mid pipe.

nope, some guys make a small hole in the rubber part of the filter (the back side) but it has to be before the maf - in case it was to brake off.

no need for that
