That doesn't sound good. I was thinking of cutting my hole out to but I think it would look awkward.

Yes, It looks a little awkward but only from the front. Most of the time people
only see the back Have you noteced witha CAI from a dead stop when
you "hit it" big sucking sound then you kind of creep along? Well cut it out and
see what happens I m working on a way to afix the old peace back in place.
So when I need to I can plug it back up with ease

:yeahthat:

Im thinking of doing it too, but since it rains so much here in florida then I wanna b able to put it back on when i need it. :thumb:

 

So today I cut out the fog hole just in front of the CAI.
All I can say is throtle responce is better.And of corse pull is feelen better:vtec: Now I have the NST pullys and the P2R spacer.With those mods.
I have noted better throtle responce and milage.But cutting out the fog hole
has rounded it all out nicely.On a diff. note when I installed the P2R spacer
I noted "dirt" in the throtle body.Iv had my CAI for 2 mo.and darn it I for got to clean out the tube.Is the dirt from the use of CAI or from not cleaning it first???[/QUOTE]
no...the dirt is because the filter doesnt do a very good job. the only way to get more air flow is to have less filtration....less filtration = more dirt getting into you throttle body...and maybe further:xyxnervou

I have to believe that a wire mesh over the hole will block the rain (a bit), and of course bugs and debris.
