Intake Installation for N/A
So far ive disconnected the battery and got the stock air-filter box out . So far so good. Until I noticed there was some kind of wiring for a sensor on the bottom of the stock box. Do I need it connected? Did i buy the wrong intake? ( i have the ebay one with the piping and all, i now wish i got the adaptor plate one).

I got the K&N air filter from... somewhere, can't remember. I removed the air intake over the fan shroud and the filter. The filter just bolted straight onto the AFM and I didn't have any other problems. So I'm not sure what your talking about with some wire. Pics?

Most likely the AFM sensor. It is required to run the engine. It should be cone shaped, and its inbetween the stock air box and the throttle body intake duct. With your new intake you should have adapters to accomodate the AFM.

The sensor at the bottom of the airbox is the Air Flow Meter (AFM). It must remain connected to the wiring and on the intake after the filter for the car to run.

the cone should just go on the afm with the metal ring. anyways just having a cone filter is fine but it will get heat so youll want to make a home depot 'cold air box' to help prevent sucking in hot engine bay air. i noticed a performance drop when just using the cone filter in hot city traffic. on the highway it would be just fine but i definitly recomend finding a way to get it colder air.
