Default Icebox install questions

Ok I am trying to install this right now but I ran into a problem. #1 I don't have any instructions so I am doing the best I can by using my tired *** brain. I just can't seem to connect the bottom box to the metal inside the engine bay. The two silver metal towers just don't seem to line up with anything! Anyone have any close up pics or any suggestions???

You could swing by here and I'll install it for you tomorrow.

My towers didn't line up exactly....but everything did fit. It's pretty straight forward.

Does this comptech icebox make the most power out of all the intakes? Also, how does this one sound compared to short rams?

You are the man! However I did get it in place at about 1:05am this Tuesday Morning!!! I was missing several parts (clamps, bolts) so I had to take some off my aem intake. The tower away from the engine was giving me the most problems but after taking the unit out and looking at it for a while I found the correct hole to use .

.Well I purchased the car with the cai aem intake on the car so I have no comparison to the stock box or a short ram intake. I can say the sound is very nice and a lot deeper then the aem sound. I do miss the sound of the secondaries opening up though . Butt dyno says power is close to the same but I think I should reset my ecu before doing any serious butt dyno testing . Further info will come later today when I get to drive it around for a while.

Mine seems to fit perfectly. It is very close to the ABS unit though.
