I just bought a cheap intake off ebay and it came with everything you see in this picture. How am I supposed to hook this up? I know what to do with the blue hose and how to fit the piping over the throttle body but how do you use the mounting hardware? It just seems like two pieces of random metal to me. I don't see where to connect it to and I don't see how to hook it up with no screws.

Anybody have experience with these cheap kits?

As for screws, you use the stock ones. Is that intake really for our cars? Doesn't look like the o2 sensor will reach all the way to the filter like that. Other than that just follow the DIY Clicky

first the filter on the pic should put in the other side of the pipe. there are 2 metal, put the small bended metal ponit up at the bottom, then put the long metal on the small one. the small bended metal will hold the long metal and form a 30 degree trangle. use 1 stock air box screw to hold that thing in hole (red arrow that on the pic)
then the long metal will go under the pipe and use something to mount the pipe with the metal. that is what i done b4. (i try my best to explain, sorry if i didn't make myself clear)
i just thorw away my cheap ebay SRI, and go back to stock air box. i am driving the AT, i used that ebay SRI for 4k. The intake is totally sucks! decrease low end power, doesn't improve high end power, bad gas milage. and since the intake is so cheap, the filter is cheap also, all the dirt will go into my engin and mess it up if i keep using it.....so....this is my experience! No offence!

just lettin u know... the person who took that pic put the filter on the wrong end.... the filter should be on the other end and the hole and the tube thing should be right over the throttle body...

this first problem is that u bought an intake off of ebay.... with no brand name....
but getting past that just bolt it up to your throttle body... use existing screws.... and it's pretty self explanatory... hope that helps a little
