Where is the Air Cleaner Element located?

Can anyone tell me where is the Air Cleaner Element located?

I bought the replacement filers (2) but need help finding out where they are located in the car? is it in the box by the battery?

If you bought "Cabin Air Filters" in which come as 2 pack- use the above directions and enjoy the fresh air.

If you thought you were buying an "Engine Air Filter", that does go in the black box with 4 screws holding it closed and a black rubber tube goes from it to the engine.

Go back to the store and get the right part for the job if necessary

if someone can please comment on how to put back the piece he took off with the dremel?

Once that piece comes out, I can't see a way of putting it back on...suggestions?

The Bosch $18 set comes with treatment to catch mold, pollen and more.
Available everywhere
The "charcoal" filters for $35 are not required.

Make or buy (junkyard/dealer?) the missing pieces, the plastic panel holds the
two filters back in place and the slim vertical cover behind that keeps the air from spilling out
