Default Possible problem (pics)

So simply put, i was looking at some pics of CAI's on AM and i noticed something.........

This is my car



This is a car on AM


I don't have photoshop so i can't point it out, but i'm missing my intake air/temperature sensor

Is this a big problem or should i not be worried?

EDIT: Sorry about the REALLY small pic, i can't seem to be able to resize it properly.

The IAT sensor is built in to the MAF on 2001-1/2+ GTs...

Or better yet just keep the OEM intake--it is a CAI and a pretty good one at that, there are people making 400+ HP with it. It gets me to 262/305 rwHP/tq with an STP filter element--if you want to spend money get a tuner...

Are you 100% about this? Because my car is a 2001 1/2+ and i seem to have an IAT sensor as well as an MAF. My iat sensor and MAF dont seem to be integrated together..

This is the picture i have showing my intake tube with the iat sensor on the right of the tube.. I have a wiring harness that plugs into the iat sensor on the tube, and than i have the maf that is located closer to the filter(which cannot be seen but you obviously know what it looks like)....


So are you saying that i dont have an 01.5+? i dont get it
