Hi Dougy, yes it does, you will need to cut the elbow pipe each end, how much is up to you, just do a small bit at a time and keep checking how it sizes up in the car.
Take old filter box out, pipe on end of MAF, jubilee clip, joiner in other end of pipe, couple of jubilee's, filter in joiner, jubilee clip.
Job done, enjoy
Take your time, and you can do it in about 30-45 mins.
