m2 copy intake..please advise!!

i just received the M2 copy intake.
However i do have one concern. Are the two filters suppose to be touching each other? I remeber people complaining that the top filter mashes against the top but never hear anyone say that the two filters touch each other. how can these intakes flow more air than stock with the top filter mashed against the top and the two filters mashed against each other. i am i missing something here?
Please let me know if your filters are touching. pics would be greatyl appreciated!!

one more question...where the lower intake hose mounts to the box there is another outlet for another hose...which hose do i put there? Hard to explain but the lower outlet has another outlet about an inch up (did that make sense). does m2 have this? anyone have pics of the back end of the m2 box where the hoses mount to the box?

to further clarify my last post this outlet would be behind lower filter thus the air would be unfiltered. would this be for the airpump? i unplugged the air pump harness does this mean i simply plug up this outlet rather than attach the hose to it?

You know, my airbox is still on the shelf. I am not sure myself which hoses go where. I emailed M2 with an Inquiry and they sent nothing back....I would like to know for myself how to install this thing.

Can anybody advise Mr. Mahtab?

This is how I hooked it up. I hope Its the correct way.

Btw, my filters touch each other but dont touch the top or anything else.

FD Racer,

Could you post some pics of the whole engine bay so as I can see what your IC setup looks like?

Someone makes a copy of the M2 intake? Me thinks that's funny, since most of M2s products are copies of other old products already out there.
