stillen intake install question

I have all the parts as shown in the pic below.



1. The black plastic "stillen" logo thingy
2. The Stillen Intake with K&N filter
3. The Metal Clamp
4. The 4 screws
5. The M.A.S (uninstalled from car with o-ring in it and its 4 screws)

How do I put these together??? I cant figure out. Help!

I'm guessing I just put the Metal clamp around the Intake and tighten it.
Then put it inside the black plastic thing and from the outside attach the M.A.S with its 4 screws.

But then what are the other 4 screws for??? Am I missing something?

I think there are instructions in that little baggy at the top of the pic.. Follow them.

I did! All it says is "fit" your Intake into that black plastic thingy.
But what then? It just says "fit it in there and then attach the M.A.S"

So, I installed it (Stillen intake with Z-tube)... and took it for a drive... everything seems to be ok so far. Here are some pics... does that install look normal?




I was still left with 4 extra screws. I hope I did everything ok. I wonder what they were for...???...

Yeah, but only when I rev it.
Normal driving, I don't really feel any difference.

your ac line looks pretty close.. you might want to cover it in some wire loom or something so it doesnt get damaged.. its pricey to repair

I read some threads on this forum... after reading abt pop charger (or poop charger), injen cai, aem etc etc... I thought Stillen was the most sensible option, as it looks stock and doesn't make the car too loud. Just right (for me).
