CAI

Redog · 02-17-2004, 03:37 PM

OK so I just got done putting in my CAI, and I had a bitch of a time.

I didn't have directions so it was trail and error to put the downpipe inside the fender lining, but that wasn't the hard part.

I couldn't get out the stock downpipes from the intake, so I deceided to cut it out. I read that a lot of people have done this. So I pulled out the hedge clippers and bolt cutters and just cut the pipe to poop.

I got it out and put the CAI in. The vacuum hose holder is up a little, but I pushed down a little. My question is: How far is the elbow from the battery? Mione is right up against it and I just want to make sure that's right :unsure:

yeah so is mine.. i didnt think it looked right at first either cuz of the big empty gap next to it.. but ohh well what are u gonna do.

heres the pic

Yep thats correct, heres mine. Better pics.

P.S. the stock airbox should come out quite easy. Only takes a screwdriver and 1 minute of your time.

Thanks for the pic. esp the side one. I guess mine's done right cause mine looks the same :thumbsup:

Yeah the stock airbox comes out real easy. Haven't have it in for about 3 years now.

I'll post a pic tomorrow

Did anyone else cut the hole a bit wider for their CAI, I took a dremel to it and made a real professional looking circle compared to the oval the stock intake housing went through. Because for some reason mine just wasn't fitting right. I got mine from FDP.

Redog · 02-19-2004, 05:38 PM

^^^--- I bought mine from r53Silver here on Aleromod and it's the FDP intake. It was tight to fit in but I did get it in

Redog · 02-20-2004, 09:24 AM

^^ No problem.

I sorry I didn't get this sooner. I'm loving it. The throttle response kicks ass!!

Englishtown, here I come.

Since my mud flap thingy is broken I might try cutting a hole in it for use on the track. Of course I have to wait until I get my new one first :rolleyes:

I'm lmfao over here...you under the hood pics are all nice and color coded. I have heavy duty duct tape on something...crazy mechanics.

I...just don't know.

That silver sleeve looks like a heat sheild of some sort and those black wire looms can be easily replaced with colored ones. I think they are about 3 to 6 bucks for a foot or 2
