Question about z-tube installation.

I've just installed my z-tube with stillen intake, seems like ive done an okay job.

My question is about the z-tube.
On the oem tube there is a 1inch tube that goes to the cabin(I think), but it's facing upward towards the sky. But when ive installed the z-tube the only way i could make it fit is to put the tube facing the ground. Is this right.?
Would this cause problems with the tube because its not shaped to face the other way?
Ive tryed to look for pics but cant seem to find any. anybody got pics?

help guys... thanks...

also got a stillen exhaust gen2
here are some pics b4 installation.



more pics to come...

Im talking about the hose on the top right hand corner of this pic.
Is it okay to pull the hose under the z-tube, when the hose is suppose to be ontop?
Putting the hose under the tube wouldnt it cause problems? since its not shaped to be underneath the z-tube?
What does that hose do?
am i just parnoid?

that is the emissions hose, the oem ztube has it facing down towards the ground as opposed to the oem gtube, which has it facing the outsite of the car. you just have to connect that hose first before installing the rest of the tube in to make the install much easier for you. other than that it is perfectly safe to install the hose down there...
