simple cai install question
 
I installed an "ebay" CAI. It came with a rubber piece about 8 or 9" long. (looks just like the "door protector" rubber pieces). Where exactly does this go? I'm guessing around the hole going into the fender to protect from metal hitting metal? this correct? :dunce:

thanks.

That'd be my guess.

do you already have the crankcase ventilation line replaced?? I've never seen an ebay intake come with a trim guard.

Yah, its a blue hose :) . here's the link to the one i bought:

its the black piece on the right side (next to the blue hose)

I'm thinking it's used as a kind of seal to insure a tight fit between the piping--you can cut it if you need to or just not use it at all...

another day, another post
 
I didn't use it :), and all the piping fit together nicely. did not use one of the blue "connecters", replaced it with a bypass valve.

only thing missing in the kit was a bracket to support the airflow sensor & another to move the reservior. I got my friend to make one for the sensor and "rigged" the stock bracket for the reservior.
p.s - if i can install a CAI, anyone can

Yo, same here. If you have the mental capacity to put together a coffee table from IKEA, you can install a CAI/SRI.
