No instructions?
Why are you buying things you don't even know how to install?
Do you even know what it will or won't do?

So much drama on the org....

Anyway Turk i know your very far from having a Injen intake but this should still help you in changing yours since your e-bay one is probably a replica...This how-to is for the 5th gen but you should be fine.

Sorry to tell you this, but you bought one of the "wrong" intakes. It's "wrong" b/c it has 4 nipples coming out of the pipe, it's only suppose to have 3. You can just cap one of the little ones off and you would be okay.

Shut the **** up MAN!

you have ZERO knowledge in the automotive world. If you had any common sense you would know NOT to use those hoses for the intake. INTAKE = AIR

ENGINE is nothing but a big vac. THEREFORE those condom like hoses arent going to go jack. For a working boy you shouldn't need to buy crap from ebay. You spend the money and do it right the 1st time.

Well From what I can see your not going to make it long on the ORG. Why the childest remarks? Search talk to people and you can get help and figure out how to do things on your on. On the intake why does the blue things got to be cheap? Those couplers will do just fine for the intake.

Turks, I understand why you are frustrated, they are giving you BS replies so you do like wise. I'll try to help you as much as I can:
Take out the four bolts holding the MAF to the upper portion of the airbox with a 10mm wrench. With the upper portion out, take the stock air filter out and you should see 3 bolts holding it the bottom airbox. Take these out with a 10mm socket. Then you should be able to pull out the MAF, be very gentle and carefull. Unclamp the two big hoses and take them off the stock midpipe, you can gently pull out that little hose. Now unscrew the clamp holding the midpipe to the throttle body. Now put the blue coupler into the TB, put the new midpipe in the other end. Plug in the 3 hoses, use the other coupler to connect the pipe with the MAF. Bolt the MAF adapter to the MAF and install the filter. Hope this helps.

^ LOL ROFL OMG

Duck tape FTW??????? OMGZORS!

I assume you haven't read any of his other threads. Anyway yeah go ahead do it that way duck tape the bracket because you need to make it air tight. You should use black tape therefore it wouldn't look as stupid as it does....

1. Use whichever hoses fit best, and use the clamps from your stock hoses to hold them onto the nipples on the midpipe.

2. Cheap couplers (the blue things) are not the best things to have, but they'll work fine. Just don't manhandle them, don't spray strong solvents (like brake cleaner) on them a lot, and check them for cracking or leaks every couple of months.

3. I could be wrong, but it doesn't look like there's anywhere to screw in your IAT sensor (currently fastened to your airbox with 2 screws). If that's the case, no big deal. Just tie it up out of the way and tuck it in somewhere near the filter.

4. Be prepared for some slight losses in torque and throttle response at certain RPMs. Intakes don't do much on these cars without tuning.

For the IAT sensor, just leave your snorkel on and you won't have to worry about it.
