Request: How to install Stock/OEM Airbox

I will soon be un-installing my AEM CIA (which came with my RA) and
re-installing the Stock/OEM airbox (which did not come with my RA. I bought it off a member in this forum).

Does anyone have a pic of the stock air box set up? Preferrably where the screws, mounts, etc. go? I've never in person seen how the OEM airbox is secured and mounted, so I have no clue where anything goes!

Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

not too hard, just bolt the box back in, reconnect the inlet tube, reconnect the breather hose, put the MAF back on the pipe, then put the intake duct back on

You make it sound so simple! I have to find a stock inlet tube. I am about to buy everything else, but that! RussllM is quoting me $59!

Finally got around to doing this today.

It was no 30 minute job (at least for me), took me a little over an hour. I only ran into a couple of problems. The first was one of the screws that hold down the MAF sensor was stripped when screwing back into the OEM box. The other screwed in just fine and the sensor is secure. The other problem was the dumb *** previous owner cut the breather hose really short. It barely fits now, but it does and it also seems to be secure. I then took the car for a five minute drive and everything is (seems to be) cool - no check engine light, weird sounds, or anything like that, so I'm assuming I did it right.

Yea the screws can be a pain on the MAF.

It should be ok right? One of them is really secure, the other not so much.

Just as long there is no gaps where air can escape.

If there was a gap, would the check engine light come on? I think it will be ok for now. I will eventually get the piece replaced.
