rubbing injen cai

turktech · 04-10-2007, 06:18 PM

Does anyones injen cai sit very close to the the radiator cap tube. When i push on the piping it will slightly hit the radiator tube. Is this a problem that should be fixed or am i just being paranoid.

It's only been on for like 3 months...no signs of wear though.

You should keep an eye on where it goes through your fender, there's a spot on the back of the CAI that rubs on some thin metal. It will cut a hole into your CAI in time.
There's a simple fix, just position a hose clamp around the CAI where it's rubbing and snug it down, so the sheet metal rubs on the hose clamp instead of the CAI.
