when you install your intake, where do you put the intake temperature sensor
where to put the intake temperature sensor that was in the oem air filter box, since im going to have an exhaust like the injen one, i want to know where to put it because obviously on wont be able to bolt it, like it was bolted on the box, since it will be a cone filter...

I think he meant intake guys... give him a break 
As for the question, if you buy a REAL Injen, there's a spot on the adaptor where it'll screw right in, no worries. If you buy an Ebay intake, chances are 50/50... some of them have a hole in the MAFS adaptor that you can screw the IAT sensor in, just like the Injen, but some don't give you anything, so either you shove the sensor inside the cone filter and tighten the folter clamp over the wire (really dumb idea) or you put one of those "+20HP WOWOWOW" resistor jobs on Ebay that keeps you fuel mixture at WOT, even if your car is idling (also a bad idea)
