Hey guys,

Today I got my HotShot Cold Air Intake in, and immediately started to put it in. I have finished all cutting, removal of stock intake pieces, and I even have enough of the Intake assembled so that I have it connected to the MAF and the MAF adapter. Now here is the part I get confused/tricked with. First of all, after attaching the MAF adapter to the MAF, does it face with the adapter toward pipe #1 or pipe #2, pipe #1 being the one closest to the throttle body.

Second question: I am having quite a bit of trouble with the second piece. It seems as though at the point where the two pieces were welded together, it should be another 90 degrees left. Basically, instead of pointing towards the MAF, it points up in the air. Can anyone help me with this I am very stressed about it as I'm sure you can tell. Thanks a million!

(Sidenote)~ I DID search the forum for this, but couldn't find any people with the same problems. I need to know the answer to question TWO ASAP. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me.

hey mang, to answer your first question: the adapter plate goes towards the fender <away from the TB>.
here's a close pic

to answer your second ques. i need to know if you have this little hole on the second pipe. see where my air temp sensor is (the thing w/ the green tag on it)? if so position that hole so it faces the front of the car like in the pic.

No I don't have that...I have the black MAF adapter, and the temp sensor plugs into the bottom of it. Also, I would like to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for jumping to help me, but it was a false alarm, I finally got it to connect. Turns out (I know I'm retarded) I had the pipe backwards. From looking at pictures of the place racing intake (couldn't find many of the HS one) I saw how it was placed. I also figured the filter would be pointing straight down, not at an angle. So when I was finally just playing around with it, I turned it around and noticed the were facing each other. Thanks for the help anyway Stiletto! I'm here if you ever need anything.
