Does anyone know how to install the factory air intake assemby. Does the housing cover go in first? How are the clips attached. I failed CA smog because of an aftermarket intake. I have aquired a factory unit and removed the non-stock unit, but am having a hard time firguring out the sequence to put the factory unit on. I did not remove the factory unit, my car came with the aftermarket unit. Thanks.

You need to drop the stock air box down in first then connect the MAF & duct to the throttle body. The box should have grommets that pop onto pegs in front.
I just had to do the same thing.

I just went & looked at mine, its an `03 Z06 There are 2 posts facing towards rear on the front frame & 2 more facing up on the radiator shoud The airbox should have 2 holes with grommets on the bottom that snap onto the forward posts & the air duct has 2 grommets that snap onto the posts on the shroud. My stock box is in the attic now Maybe they were different in different years. I`m not sure. Good luck Hope this helps you. Dennis
