Pipe looks great. Love the red anodizing. But for the time being, let'* call it an intake, not a CAI.

But we'll help you turn it into a CAI. The filter you have lends itself very well to attaching a heatshield.

However you like. BTW, CAI is COLD air intake. You have a HAI, and you're not getting the full potential.

My suggestion is to search the Forum and find the design you like the best, then do your best to copy it, or leverage and improve.

9 pics total, just change the "1" to any number between 2 and 9.

Keep in mind you don't have the double washer bottle, so your sheild needs to go much farther towards the fender. But you can see how it'* attached.

Man, I'd like to build a custom CAI, but when it comes to me and fabricating...well, nevermind, lets not speak of it anymore.
