EDIT: Haha, that's my exact intake, the 90* bracket you won't need...also, the MAF sensor didnt plug in, so I think there is poor welding on these specific intakes, have a shop sand the inside of the hole, and blow the metal particles out.

not at all man. That goes on the hole from the valve cover to the hole on the intake...I can show you a pic, lemme go take one and upload it.

Take the intake to a shop and have them sand inside the hole, and you might have to cut the hosing to allow the sensor to stretch to reach the hole...as far as the bracket, put it where the stock airbox bolts where and use zipties around the intake and throught the holes, do this to two of the holes on the bracket, and the intake will be a little loose up and down, not too much, but you don't want it stiff. Hope this helps, ask if I'm being vague and you need more info.

I can try to write in more detail tommorow, but I have a meeting at 6:00 so I need to be getting some sleep.

(Note to to Honda guys that don't understand: AFM = Air Flow Meter, MAF = Mass Air Flow sensor. Yes, there is a difference.
