The intake is a bit tricky to put on. I had to unplug and remove the vaf to put on the ractive filter. If you look on the inside of the end of the filter that goes to the vaf you'll notice a few grooves. There's a "ring" on the end of the vaf, you have to slide that under the filter so that the ring fits in the groove on the intake.<P>It's pretty simple, just slip the intake on to the vaf. Then stick a 4" to 3" adaptor to connect the ractive filter on to the cold air pipe. email me if you got any more questions. I haven't been able to get my friend's digicam, sorry.
