Okay, so this past weekend my girlfriend gave me a late birthday present with which was a cold air intake kit, as well as a Killswitch kit. Basically what I need to know is how to install the cold air intake and still have the mass airflow sensor being functional also with the Killswitch kit that she got me I know how to install that I would just like any suggestions that you may have as to where an inconspicuous spot would be to put the switch that would still be easily accessible for me to reach.

Hi,

As far as the cold air intake, it should be designed to hold the MAF sensor. Is it designed specifically for your vehicle? If possible, could you take a few pics of what you got and what on the vehicle presently?

As far as the switch, most people hide them under the dash close to where their knees would rest.

Let me know.

Hi,

I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. It has been beyond busy here. I attached a pic below of the sensor I believe you have. Are you able to fit it between two rubber hoses between the air box and the throttle body? That is what we need to do and it should be positioned as closely to the original one as possible.

Let me know.
