ya if you are only using 2 of the 4 bolts provided then there is your biggest problem right there. You have to take out the 2 old studs to make room for the 2 new bolts. Its kind of a ***** to get them out, use the trick posted on this forum somewhere, thats what I did. Basically just take 2 buts and tighten them against eachother, then "loosen" the inside nut to pull out the stud with it.

Also, believe it or not you may have a problem with ur CAI. I just did the install for my CAI and P2R spacer and gaskets at the same time last week. And I ran into a bit of a problem, so make sure of this before you do it.

I have an AEM CAI and the air fuel injector tube from the CAI gets in the way of a mechanism extending from your shifter cables, aka not being able to shift sometimes or its hard. I had to cut my hose to make it shorter and reposition it a lil bit. Because of that extra inch or so the hardware adds. Ya it may not seem like alot but it was enough. Wasnt a hard adjustment to make, just be careful when you are done installing.

Install was easy as hell though. Make it alot easier doing it before a CAI is in too heh.
