Default Help with Perrin Intake

Alright, I just got my Perrin intake, and I can't get the thing installed. The vent hose won't reach for anything, I can't find any place to put the bracket, and the instructions are pathetic...
I know the Perrin intake is not super popular, but does anybody have installed pics or more direct instructions?
I'll take whatever advise I can get, as i can't put the stock airbox in because all three of the bolts on the bottom broke...

Please Help!

your in luck, I just put mine on last weekend. The vent hose won't reach because you have to pull the plastic piece that it originally attached to in the original intake hose. As for the bracket it goes in one of the holes on the radiator support that aren't used. Lay it up against the underside of the radiator support and line it up with the airfilter and you will see which one. I'll post pictures of mine installed tomorrow so you can see. Also make sure that you mount the maf upside down with the plug facing towards the block or it will not run. Hope this helps. Anymore questions just ask.

Thank you so much!
So after a little bit of struggling, I got it in.

One last thing; the instructions say to zip-tie some cables down, but there is no way of seeing the suggested location in the provided picture...

yah....I left mine dangling and zip tied the sensor to the wires. As long as it is secured so its not bouncing around it will be fine. The intake sounds stock while idling but sounds pretty good once the throttle plate is open all the way. Let me know if you have any other questions. Also its not a bad idea to disconnect the battery for a few minutes so the learn values reset. At first there won't be any difference in power but once the computer finds the right fuel trims with the no intake it is noticable.

Yeah, I couldn't find the hole where the bracket goes. Have had the intake on for several weeks and it seems like the bracket isn't even necessary. But yeah, worst instructions for anything, ever. Good intake though.
