You don't, you install the mass air meter/sensor in line with the CAI.

what do you mean that its down by the filter? Thats where it is spose to be.

It goes (assuming you are stock):

Boot > Filter > Clip that hold on filter > MAS > Long Tube w/ two tubes commin out > clamp onto throttle body or whatever

See the MAF mid way up the CAI? That's where it goes.

Plus it's a lot cheaper and it'll still pass an inspection.
