you need to remove the air box, batt, batt tray, and whatever under body cover you have on the driver side. After those have been removed, it should be pretty straight forward how things go together.

LMAO go right ahead and ignore the directions i gave you, and listen to the guy who tells you to oil the intake.

Don't want oil in the intake, don't want oil on the intake. If you need help getting some of the rubber or silicone fittings to slide, use water. If that doesn't work, put a drop of dish soap in a full bucket of water and try that.

looks like you've almost got it - don't cut anything, try not to do any trimming, because it shouldn't need it - you WILL have to get under the car to attach the filter to the piping but that should be it... it is a COLD AIR INTAKE, not a "cool" or "short ram" intake, so just clamp the accordion hose to the pipe, place the end of that intake pipe through a noticeable hole right where it lines up, get underneath the car and attach the intake filter... done
