SRI installation guide?

I've looked all over youtube, and i've searched it up here as well but i just cant find a guide (with pictures) or a video on how to install an SRI on a 5.5 gen or any year maximas with a 3.5l engine. Please dont tell me that i made a mistake getting an SRi or anything, its the best option for an aftermarket intake where i live, and I didnt want the OEM intake. Yes, i'm aware of the Air box mod, and no i didnt want to do it. Any help with finding a guide to the installation process would be appreciated.

Edit: i've looked for 350z guides and g35 guides but couldnt seem to find any that were even close to good. I dont want to mess it up by going into it blind, so before i go to a mechanic, i would like to do it myself.

So, what did you get? Best IMO is JWT, but if you want real power, (use with headers) you build your own. No guide needed, it's a drop in/bolt in replacment.

Go to AutoZone, but a filter, and fit it on there. Universal. I've done it many times on all my current and past vehicles.

I live in Canada, so we dont have autozone here. I got a Weapon-R dragon. I even went to my local performance parts store, and they didnt have any maxima specific ones. So i got the dragon shipped in. I just dont want to break the Maf sensor or something, by pulling it too hard or something. I just wanted a guide since it'd be safer that way.

You won't break the MAF unless you drop it or throw it or soak it. Feel free to pull as needed to remove. You can search how to remove it. It is part of other jobs and the write ups are around. Then just install the tube and filter.

I would say this is just a little harder than changing your oil.

Pull all the oem crap out of the engine bay. They all are held in with a 6mm bolt which requires a 10mm socket. Remove the MAF tube from the box with the same socket. Install your new SRI. Make sure all the hose clamps are tight.

Don't touch the valve thingy !!!! (throttle valve thingy? It makes clicking noise)

Knight can probably make you a pipe of some sort ...

You might need cable ties to hold the SRI up (I had to with a JWT Popcharger)
