Below the build-up guide there are part reviews, install ratings, places to buy, and install instructions...
These are te installl isntructions I just added...
Installation Instructions:
1.) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2.) Remove the air temperature sensor from the stock intake tube.
3.) Remove the wire loom from the retaining clips on the side of the stock air box.
4.) Loosen and remove the five airbox retaining bolts then remove the airbox lid.
5.) Remove stock air filter.
6.) Remove intake tube from fender well.
7.) Remove the four throttle body retaining bolts from airbox (these bolts will be re-used).
8.) Remove the crankcase vent hose from the air box.
9.) Remove the bolt and nut that secures the airbox to the vehicle then remove the airbox (this bolt and nut will be reused).
10.) Break lug nuts loose, then jack up the drivers side of the vehicle (remember to support with jackstands).
11.) Using a T-20 wrench, remove the two screws that retain the inner fender valance to the fender. Then remove the two push pins and move fender valance away to allow access into the fender well.
12.) Remove the two bolts that retain the resonator to the fender well then remove the resonator.
13.) Remove thebattery tray mounting bolt (this will be reused).
14.) Using the four bolts that were removed in Step #7, secure the two provided throttle body brackets to the throttle body.
15.) Using the battery tray mounting bolt that was removed in step #13, mount the throttle body bracket to the battery tray.
16.) Using the stock bolt removed instep #9, secure the throttle body bracket to the stock airbox mount.
17.) Install the supplied silicone hose and hose clamps to the throttle body and tighten throttle body hose clamp. Then, install the supplied edge trim to the resonator fender well hole. Finaly, install the larger grommet into the intake tube bracket and the smaller grommet into the intake tube.
18.) Slide the intake tube down the resonator hole then insert the other end into the throttle body silicone clamp.
19.) Align the intake tube braket to the stock airbox mount. Using the supplied nut, tighten the intake bracket to the stock mounting stud.
20.) Install the air temp sensor into the rubber grommet on the intake tube.
21.) Using the supplied silicone hose, attach one end to the intake tube and the other end to the crankcase vent tube.
22.) Install the hose calmp onto the air filter and attach to the intake tube inside the fender well.
*Note* Make sure everything is tight!

RE: New Guy
i had to do the same with my sephia to hold up the mas. i was reading that if you pop the top of the intake box and put in a cone filter it does the same thing. im just going for sound as of right now. im not to concerned with power added to it.
