you have your clamps which you put on the filter and the intake manifold so it doesn't fall apart. then you take the tube off your stock intake and replace it with the tube above. there should be a long nipple on the piping. that's where you connect the tube to. as for the bracket, find a hole to put where the bracket goes. it holds the intake in place so it doesn't rest on a line which will burn a hole into your filter. good luck...

ehh it's not rocket science. it's a matter of taking apart something and putting it back together, quite simple really. it's a good learning experience. you can't screw anything up in the process of installing it i think. unless you don't put the clamps on or something and it falls off while driving and sucks some dirt in.

Blue coupler to throttle body; blue hose with one end on the intake nipple, and one end on crank case; metal plate is to secure the intake arm in case it dangles inside the engine bay but most likely, it won't.
If you need more metal ring, CT or HD sells them.
Wash your intake filter regularly with warm water and use a junk tooth brush to clean off the dust and whatnot.

if it's a cleanable filter it's a good idea to oil it, some people run them dry but it catches more dirt oiled.That filter there is most likely not cleanable, nor are ractive or vibrant etc etc. AEM, K&N, Injen (higher priced ones) are cleanable... just use K&N filter recharger, comes with a bottle of cleaner, and oil for $14.99.
edit, new AEM intakes come with the new synthetic filter which is designed to run dry.
