The original intake has a rubber piece that attaches at a hole in the driver side fender well, in front of the battery. That is the cold air intake point; in fact there are ducts in the lower grille that push air into that area specifically to feed cold air to the engine. By angling the air filter towards that hole in the inner fender you should pick up some of the cold air and get better performance. Worse fuel economy, but better power.
