Here's the filter, with fitment instructions written on the box
Pull out your stock filter, unplug & remove MAF, remove rear of air box, remove front of air box (2 bolts)...

I had this soft rubber door seal, although ancient, I needed extra double sided tape to stick it, it was in no way perished: perfect!!!

OEM vs HKS dirty side with my previous attempt at a neoprene seal... Better than nothing but the new one is on another level!

Get your door seal and carefully apply it around the edge of the rear hks filter holder, aping the seal on the stock filter.

If you're good you can get it even nicer than this!

Do the same on the front filter holder, then put some more around the back of that part that fits in in the dirty side of the air box.

Clean your air box parts carefully and clean the MAF with CRC MAF no residue cleaner.
Check the fit of the triple sealed filter. Refit parts, plugin MAF, recheck and drive!
