jwt= pissed!!

I just bought a new pop charger from JWT it just got here and I tore the car apart and got to the step where I have to attach the filter to the MAF tube and guess what?? The f!@#ing bolt holes dont match up. So I called them and they said they would send out another one but now I have to put the car back together!! But I can say that they at least made it right and are send me the right part....

by the way can anyone tell me how I would know if I have a Z tube? The reason I am asking is because there is a Z inprinted on the front of my tube. I dont know if that means anything or not?

The z tube doesn't have the baffles hanging off the bottom or on the top. It's just a straight tube. Just as an example:

it takes longer to make a thread than to take off/put on an intake.
