I ran mine through the fender, right below the battery tray is an opening. I ran mine through there up to the opening in the end of the cone. This way the air is still forced through the pipe and you won't pick up as much moisture from the road. Hell do both get some big air

Raffi,
Not to worry my friend. As long as the short intake has a connection for the breather hose from the valve cover, thats all you need to worry about. Rip out the entire factory air filter system. Keep the original screws in place just in case for some reason you need to re-install it. Other then the hose from the valve cover connected to the new intake, don't sweat it!! Tighten the adjustable clamp to the throttle-body, then the clamp to the intake itself. Put the filter on and tighten it's clamp. Connect the small breather hose from the valve cover....keep in mind the intake may have come with a new hose, in that case replace it with the factory hose and then you're all set to go. Hope this helps, let us know!!

Though I am not entirely familiar with your year, my guess is that you are talking about the baffle portion that they put in these little guys to cut down engine noise. If this is the case, yank the sucker, it does nothing.

Hell, I was under the impression that it sorta collected moisture. However, since it was factory installed, it's probably called. a "Type "A" Collection Moisture/Debris Canister".

I just finished the install on the CAI. What a difference!!!! The throttle response, the sound and the performance upgrade! Quite a cheap investment.

Any ideas on headers or exhaust that keeps the cat's in place?

ebay has nice headers for a nicer price tag give it a look. As for the rest of he exhaust what I did was ran 2 1/2 pipe from the header back with a high flow cat( 60$) cut of the stupid resignator and continued to a Ractive exhaust.
