I just did this today:

1. Put the intake tube back on the throttlebody
2. Put the water evaporator thingy back on, (the one that hangs way down)
3. Put on the bottom of the air filter
4. Put the MAF sensor housing back into the top of the air filter box
5. Put the top of the air filter box on & insert the MAF into the INtake tube to the throttle body
6. Put the "ram-air" snorkle back on.

Done.

P.S. In the picture, I think you've got the air filter box upside-down.

i know it is
i just put it on the floor to take a pic
but are the air filter box and the thing that hang ways down connect tight w/ each other
so r they just hang onto each other

the thing that hangs down gets bolted to the chassis first, then you can slide the bottom of the airbox onto/into it and then bold the airbox to the mounts near the battery.

Mine fit pretty snug. Didn't have to force it or anything, but it definately sealed. Both of those openings have a funny shape, not sure why...

you shouldnt have a problem, make sure that the tab on the resonator is all the way in that rubber bushing thats on the lower bracket below the filter box, THEN compress the intake tube back(one with maf). Push the tab on the back of the filter box on its rubber bushing, and bring the front down to meet up with the resonator and they should slide together tightly.

i think i m having trouble making sure the tab go all the way into the rubber bushing, do u have to push very hard?

by tab u mean that little part that sticks out, right?

this is what it looks like when i put them together
u can see theres a gap between those 2 parts
sorry for the crappy pic, only got a camera phone
