Default Need help installing an AEM CAI on a 03 RSX type s

Ok so I got everything installed but the two hoses at the end.

So there are two hoses, a 3/8" (thin) and 3/4" (fat) hose. Im not sure where the air temperature sensor goes into and which tubes go where. The instructions are soooooooooo damn vague and give no particular direction to where they go. This is my first time installing a CAI so Im completely lost and im so close to finishing! If anyone could help me out with some direction or a picture of a k20a2 with AEM CAI that I can imitate, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ok so after much more experimenting, I found where the sensor and 3/8" hose goes.. But where does the 3/4" hose go? I was looking at this picture of an Ingen CAI that looks basically identical to AEM and I see where the 3/4" tube is on top, but where does it connect to the bottom? Thanks.




Edit: Nevermind, Im an idiot. Its 11:45pm and Im looking at a few of the AEM CAI pics and there's another piping for the 3/4" hose. I probly just didnt see it after I mounted it in. I'll take a closer look tomorrow morning when I try to finish it up.

The AEM CAI is almost the same as the INJEN CAI. Same goes with FUJITA CAI. Just make sure your gears is in 1st, 3rd, and 5th so the pipe doesn't hit the transmission while you shift. If it does, try to pull the pipe away from getting the transmission to hit the pipe.
