Hi all, I just finished my own CAI for ~$35.00. Next job is to remove the front license plate cover and run a ram air duct from there and cover the opening with a meshed grill. Should look sweet when its done.

where'* the filter?!

Way the hell in the fender i guess! Did you have to cut some of it out?

Run it with no filter... more flow lol

Yes the filter is in the gap between the wheel well and the bumper cover. A 9" cone is perfect.

The CAI looks good and all, but I have a sort of off topic question for you. Why does it say estimated horsepower is 230 on that page??? Its 240 STOCK. I would think it would be more like 280-290 now.

My guess its 230whp which is fair.

Is the air intake any louder in the fender? Is that area inside the fender clean?

Thats what I was thinking, but everyone else on cardomain puts crank horsepower, so it makes it sound kinda low. If you look at the weight and the 1/4 mile time though, it is quite obvious that it has more than that at the crank. I just thought it was kind of odd. Personally, I would put down crank horsepower (as I did with mine), but its not my cardomain page so I guess there'* not much I can do.

Yes Shawn, it is whp on my page. Come on man, I know you're much more knowledgable than that!! I didn't realize what people actually put on their pages. I just put whp cuz thats all that really counts anyways. Yes, when you first start the car, it sounds terrible. But, after 60 -90 seconds it sounds normal. UNTIL you put your foot down, then it sounds like a really cool supercharged car should sound like!
