My New Injen CAI, Suggestions?

[JeShUa]

Okay.. I just got my CAI in today.. from CORSPORT.. and I think its a little to dark to install it now.. but do you guys have any suggestions before I do the install??
Also, I need some hose clamps? What size? Maybe my dad has some.. hmm.. Thanks again guys for the help..
And thanks again tai for the great service :]

Not really advice, but something to consider.

When I get mine, I'm going to remove the wheel and inner fender lining and install it that way, without removing the front bumper. Might wanna give that a shot, I would imagine it would be less time consuming! And once you get it down, it will make future filter cleanings/changes much easier. :)

Hm.. I read something about that.. does anyone have pics of that or some instructions? or do I just stop uninstalling the bumper at some point?

Taking off the bumper is easier than taking off a wheel, in my opinion. You will need hose clamps, I brought the breather hose to the parts store to see what size you need. the stock clamps can be re-used on the coolant hoses.

Getting the stock intake off of the throttle body is by far the hardest part due to the lack of clearance. If you cant get a screwdriver to the head of the clamp screws that hold it on, you can rotate the screws by the threads with a pair of pliers. Makes it much easier...... besides that, the instructions will show you exactly what to do. Its foolproof...almost.

Getting the upper intake piping onto the throttle body was soooooo frustrating for me. I'm pretty sure about 2091 bad words came out of my mouth when trying to fit that bastard on there.

[Torredo]

i dont know if this was mentioned already as i didnt
read every post but the InJen CAI comes with all
the hardware including clamps.

if your kit didnt come with clamps id call InJen or somethin?

- CAI polished piping 2-pieces
- x2 hose
- x1 Airfilter element -ReUseable
- Clamps
- Instructions
- Decals
- License plate frame

i think this all covers it ?

[JeShUa]

its cool webster == hehe :]

but yeah.. torrendo I think they're talking about the rubber hose up top that goes from piping to the engine part.. excuse me for my lack of better description.. but yeah.. there are threads with circles around it.. and yeah.. other installs liek the one above doesnt have it.. should be fine if I put on tight enough :]

[Torredo]

OH!!

the rubber hose from the CAI pipe to the Valve cover!
Im sorry, i didnt even think of that dam hose bro'

yea....had to buy them at Napa for like .50
my rubber hose seemed to loose when i just popped it
on so i decided on using clamps.
