the first few steps I documented, then I got lazy 
the pipe looks orange, but I have a crappy camera. it's acutally a dark red.
bahh i had to resize the pics like 7 times cause the board wouldnt let me post images.

Did you polish your intake manifold? It looks really clean with a bright finish. Your Place Racing CAI install is much different then mine.. http://members.nbci.com/maxima_se/cai/

Hey Nevin,
Did you use the template for the hole? It looks like your CAI hole is actually like a rectangle. Yeah, I think that ngthing drilled into the fender wall instead of underneath the tray, but I guess it works the same. Is a CAI much better than a popcharger? Don't really know if I want to spend money just to gain only 4 hp, if that...
Laterz.

anyone else have pics of the CAI? the install for the SE and GXEs are different I think. oh, and I didn't polish my manifold, that would be the magic of the camera flash

im guessing that if everything fits and it's functioning you will be fine...i'd hate to see you cut a second hole...do you have pics of how it's situated on the underside?

ahh damn that CAI to hell. it all fits, it's just really right, a 2nd hole wouldn't be THAT bad, it'd look a bit ugly though. I had one pic of the filter, it's up top somewhere.
