I havent installed one on a 4.6 yet but im pretty sure its the same. Get under the front of the car and there should be an opening so you can get up inside the fender. Its a pita but thats how they have to be put on the 5 liters hope that works

I have the exact same CAI. You will have to manuver the filter up through the fender well from underneath the car. Second set of hands comes in handy. One to hold the filer the other to insert the bent tube into the filter and tighten the clamp. Do not attach the cover plate to the fender, leave it lose so you can angle the curved pipe around until you get it attached to the filter. Then tighten the cover plate with the one screw that was used on your old air box. Now attach the curved pipe to your MAF meter and attach the long pipe that goes to your TB/plenum/
