You hook one side to ur engine, and the other to your filter.

Congrats, you’ve just wasted alot of money to be slow but look like you

Just for the record:

1. It will hurt your intake (you won’t get colder air then ambiant and it will add more restriction.

If you want to be rice about it just put the FMIC out front but don’t attach it to anything.

But yeah, locked.
