Ok well I guess I'll give my best shot here since I've never had one of these on my car before so I've never installed one before, but from my experience and looking at your pictures I think I know where the pieces go, but do correct me if I'm wrong on anywhere =) Anyways here's pictures of your parts:
Point 1 goes in first, I'm guessing the bottom end there goes in first (X) then point 2 bottom (X) goes into point 1.
The two pipes don't need to be split (optional) but you do need to remove the top pipe (marked with red in the pic). Take a vice grip and pinch the two points sticking out at point 1 towards each other (do the same for point 2) then slide them down to make sure it doesn't stay clamped onto the nipples of the valve cover and the intake. Remove the clamp at point 3 using a flat head or a ratchet (10mm I believe), then work your way down from there to remove air duct system (point 4). Installing your intake is opposite. Make sure the side where the hole was is fitted into the throttle body. Use the hose and clamps (or your original clamps) that came with your kit and clamp them down like the pipe that you just removed (from the nipple of your intake to the nipple of valve cover).
Here's an old picture of my cold air intake, as you can see I didn't remove the top pipe, but the yellow hose there is where the nipple of the intake and valve cover is. I hope this is helpful in anyway.
TIPS: Dude take your time to do this, there's no need to rush! You've got all the time in the world you need, it might take you a long time but it's part of the learning process, no one learns over night.

thank you soo much man you helped me out extremely!! So basically the top pipe is still attached to bottom but on both ends of the pipe its not connected anywhere just a pipe laying there with both ends open in case i need to go back to stock?Ok well I guess I'll give my best shot here since I've never had one of these on my car before so I've never installed one before, but from my experience and looking at your pictures I think I know where the pieces go, but do correct me if I'm wrong on anywhere =) Anyways here's pictures of your parts:

yea the bottom pipe is attached to all its original areas but the top are both disconnected, it's only the top you need to worry about. It's really up to you if you want to split the top from the bottom pipe but I couldn't find anything that could cut through those little metal pieces holding them together and even if I did find anything I was scared I might cut through the pipe so I just left it like that.

thank you so much you have helped me immensely!!! And also will i have to bend the top pipe at all to get it out of the way for the aftermarket hose?

No there's no need to bend anything. All short intakes are very light and it's going to be laying on top of your A/C lines.

Yea remove that part, I believe that's the part under where your old air filter was at? It's useless now so removing it is better and plus in the future when you want to put in a cold air intake you don't have to worry about that as a problem. You'll need to go under the car to remove that part, just locate it under there and look for any bolts that are holding it.
