Ebay cold air intake, can I follow the DIY for it?

Hey guys, I just bought a cold air intake for my car on Ebay.. it was just a cheap $50 system but it looked alright, I got it from here and just dont know if it is similar enough to follow the DIY step by step, what do you guys think? Thanks

It looks similar next to the hole that is on the corner closest to where it hooks up to the engine. I have no idea what that is for?

CAI

i was thinking about buying that one on ebay, but didn't see an actual picture so didn't bother. I bought this one here on ebay and w/ my AEM short ram intake that i bought long time ago, i frankenstiened it and the end product is the picture below. The filter tucks under the battery. I think that's how injen makes it. But anyways, there was a difference from the old SRS AEM and this new one that i did myself. Brought my car down to low 16s on a 1/4 mile. I'm also using a Apexi Power Intake.
