I was just playing man, but yeah like mk said take the maf out of the big ugly box. Then just connect all the tubing and you will be golden.

LOL... i dont think black95 has quite figured out that his MAF is actually INSIDE that big hideous black thing attached to the air intake tube
i dont think he knew that! I remember when i put a new filter in, i saw some red little thing sticking out into the middle. is that it?

No remove your entire intake system then you will see where everything goes.

Just take your time. If the directions do not help then read what you can and put them to the side. Start to diassemble the unit and stop if you get scared or confused. Poll the forum and someone on here can help. Its really easy but if you have not been in or around and engine before than you will be intimidated.

Once you are done you will say "damm thats why those gerkoffs were giving me a hard time!. Its not hard but do not be afraid to yank n few things except your MAF.....

+1 Just put the new one on the same way the stocker is ... except where your stock airbox is the instake will go into that hole and the filter will be on the other side where its not visible.
