I can't figure out where the hell the template is supposed to go. The instructions are very unclear. Somebody help me out quick.

if its a VG then your going to cut a hole in between the battery and fender, there should be a hole already there which is about 2 inches wide, you can use that to start the hole if its a VE i dont know

 

true. BEHIDN the battery, not into the side of the car...like i did. oops.

 

Repost:
It takes about 2 hours and a half, maybe 3 if you are slow and careful (which you should be). You will need a couple of screwdrivers, This is what I did:

1. Remove all stock air components back to the intake manifold, except the mass air flow sensor.

2. Remove the battery

3. Unbolt the battery tray, and turn it upwards out of your way. it is not necessary to remove it completely.

4. Remove the fuse box that is on the fender well. You must remove the cover and the far left and right relays (the green and red) to get to the bolts, unless you have a small wrench.

5. Clear (but do not disconnect) all othe wiring that is in your way.

6. Use the pattern to make the hole. I thought this was going to be the hard part before I moved the battery tray, and saw that the pattern was ver self-explanitory

7. Put the pipe that has only one bend, long end first, into the hole.

8. Put everything back except for the stock air stuff.

9. Connect the longer pipe to the intake manifold and MAF, then line up the pipe that is in the hole with the other end of the MAF.

10. move the plastic fender cover and is in front of the tire and put your filter on



There are 2 holes drawn on the pattern that line up directly with a bolt and a hole behind the right rear (from the front of the car) of the battery tray.
NOTE:

AFTER YOU REMOVE THE BATTERY (AND THE TRAY UNDER IT) YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CLEARLY SEE WHERE THE PATTERN GOES.
