Aftermarket intake help

I'm new to this car still and the forum still and I'm wondering if anyone could tell me what to do with the pipe connected to the air box. Not the intake pipe but the other one below. How would I remove it?

Thank you

You have to loosen the clamp on that is by the turbo, then loosen the clamp by the MAF sensor, then remove the MAF sensor and voila. it should pop off relatively easily.

and for what its worth, you will need the MAF sensor for the aftermarket intake, or relocate it as some have done on the forum.

This is the clamp on the turbo(which is too bright from the camera flash)

Thanks. I'm getting a short ram though and what is that pipe that seems to be going into the fender?

It's a fresh/cold air intake piping, to the air box.
Your short ram intake will be sucking hot under the hood air.

Stock air box for the win....

I understand. I'm just going to try it out for a little. But I don't think anyone answered my question though. That fresh air pipe. Does it just pop off out of the fender? Haha thanks guys
