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

 

ok dudes, need you again...
went to put that short ram intake on just now but couldnt...a portion of the underside of the stock hose is connected to something else
under it..im guessing it might be the MAF, but maybe not..and my new intake tube doesnt have such a connection...anybody??

 

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!!

thanks again...but im just curious..what is that thing connected at the bottom that i was talking about ...and what happens if its not connected

 

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".

whats up boys...intake is installed...looks great, sounds great, nice improvement in throttle response..very happy..

thanks again guys

 

Very awesome, I'm glad we could help a little. It does make a nice sound doesn't it?

 

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.
