I bought a cone filter, to help the engine breathe, and to make my exhaust louder without removing the resonator. I figured just to get a 3' pipe and run it to the engine. But when i looked closer, there are about 5 hoses and electrical wires strapped over the stock intake. What am i supposed to do with all these? I have no clue what they are for or what will happen if i remove then. Or am i only supposed to remove the air filter box and not the whole section to the engine? I also she made one for the maxima with a little rubber blue pipe comming out of the metal pipe wheres this go? Im sorry im asking so many questions, i just know kids who did theres real easy and now im lost...

 

First a cone filter is not going to make your exhaust louder, it is going to let you here your engine more because the filter sits much closer to the throttle body (as opposed to a sealed air box.)

The 2 hoses are vaccum lines and yes you need those. The wires going to the actual air box is the intake temp sensor which you can just leave hanging after you have installed your intake. The black pipe that has wires going to it that is between your air box and the thin black box is your MAFS, your car will not run correctly without this. It sounds like you are just planning on sticking your filter onto a 3inch pipe and connecting it to the throttle body

You can't just stick a filter on, you need a MAFS adapter so that you can attach it to the MAF sensor, without this you cannot put an open filter on.

What does this mean???????????????

"I also she made one for the maxima with a little rubber blue pipe comming out of the metal pipe wheres this go?"

Bascially what you want is a MAFS adapter. You can get a JWT, or Stillen Velocity stack and use that as your adapter (which would be the best option), or get a MAFS adapter from Frankencar. Ditch the 3inch pipe, the thin black box (intake resinator) is there for a purpose. Go to people's websights and look at their intakes, this should give you an idea of what goes where.
