Remember i have this exact same intake kit, i didnt even use the brackets cause when i installed it, it looked exactly like yours in the picture i did a few adjustments it worked out.
The little black hose goes between the first two couplers, every one of those pieces that i have now i need to keep on there. Its a crap ebay SRI, thats why it fits so stupidly.

See the little black hose that comes out of the silver piece, between the two couplers? I have no idea what it does, but i cant get rid of the couplers because of this.

the hose feeds air into your engine also, like i said you can also buy a breather for your car and you won't need the hose



it should be like 5 dollars at your local carparts store

after that your intake should be straight

---Edit---

if you can't afford one try to make the intake set-up with a blowby hose, but try to make it with just one coupler so it doesn't stick out and just goes straight. I'm sorry if i was there it would be easy and i could help you out.

How would this affect the gas mileage?

And can you re-explain that, im not too familiar with the terms here.

a breather doesn't affect any gas mileage as to what a regular after market intake would do. You just stick in where the hose goes into your block/engine. And if you still have the stock intake why don't you just put back on the stock intake ?
