Question Frankencar Intake

Can anyone tell me in detail how to install this intake, the directions it came with are crap. I fought with the thing for a couple hours but couldnt get it to fit in. Im not sure if I set it up right, I have the rubber piece that is smaller at one end attached to the MAF with the little part I then have the other tape looking thing attached to the throttle body. Nothing seems to fit, I thought to put the rubber piece on the throttle body but cant get the small end to fit on anything. Any help would be great, or tips to make it easier. Thanks

It can be kind of hard getting the rubber sleeves around the mid-pipe. The instructions supplied are great I followed them and it led me to a perfect install. Just read carefully.

Which end of the rubber coupler( Bigger at one end than the other) goes on the mid pipe and which goes on the MAF. How did you get the MAF secure to the coupler, I couldnt get it tightened. does the rubber that goes to the MAF stretch over the whole opening. I want to get it on.
