if your talking about what i think, if its L shaped, one side connects to the bottom back bolt on the MAF sensor bolt, and the other connects to something on the motor at the back right side. i think the long side connects to the intake, and short side to the motor. ill see if i can find a pic

no he is talking about the 3 hole piece of aluminum they give you on the cheap ebay intakes, one of those came wit my buddies 3.2l tl's intake. best of luck to you i saw a guy on here twisted it and had it go from his maf to a strut bolt and another guy had it go from back of maf to the driver side rear of engine block. good luck

Uh, my I took my friend's since he didn't use it. I put the long [not-bent] part of it and bolted it to the little extra part on the MAF adapter. The short [bent] part I just bolted down somewhere in the engine bay. There is a metal plate where the stock airbox used to be that has some bolts that bolt it down [in the 02/03 anyway] and I just used those spots to bolt it down.

ok what i was talking about (looking at the above picture) is one side coonects to the back bottom of the MAF sensor and the other connects to this bolt: Look at the hose that covers a bit of the air filter up on the left side, the bolt is between that and the other ribbed tube. The bolt head points toward the filter. If that is understandable, then connect it there if it fits.

thanks for the pics and help...I just winged it and bent the shist out of it and made it go from the maf to a bracket at the bottom part of the....oh nevermind I'll show pics tonight...POS ebay intakes...I should have known better! No performance gain in my humble opinion...but it does sound pretty good though...

well an ebay intake (with a good filter) pretty much does the same as any other, it just either wont look as good or will fit weird. I continue to say that the cheapest and probably just as effective intake is a K&N cone filter with the ebay Bomz MAF sensor adaptor. the stock tube works great.

I had mine mounted the same way until the darn thing broke and then I cut it and bent it to what it is now. Looks like crap but I dont really care.[IMG][/IMG]

Haha yalls bracket is prolly better than mine. I took a coat hanger and bent it into a "Y" shape and mounted it to where the big black box used to be mounted too. I just took out the black metal piece at the bottom. Its really dirty, but if you can see the silver metal twisted up on the right side of the filter. it does the job for free though. I'll eventually get something real.

i got you all beat. I just took of the front of my intake box, so there is only the filter and the back half of the box.

ZIP TIES *****!!!! lol

i have about half a dozen Zip ties holding it all in place.

Here is what I did with my crappy EBAY SRI bracket. I used the stock bolts from the airbox.
