They are very simple to hook up. Just make sure you remove the MAF sensor from the housing completly and bolt it up to the new pipe flange. Then make sure you reconnect the vacume hose and if yours has the temp sensor it goes in the rubber grommet. If you don't have the temp sensor (like mine) plug that grommet hole to keep air from entering. I went to the parts store and bought a rubber plug for mine so it looks better and no leaks.

They don't make any, that's the problem with ebay cais, they're not truely made for mustangs, and they're quality is highly questionable.
