Either some one stole it or my cone for my CAI fell off what do i do? please help and i drove about 5 miles w/o it on will that f*** anything up. thanks

If it fell off, it would still be in your engine bay . If it's not there, it probably got jacked. Do yourself a favor and don't drive it unless you put the stock box back on or another replacement filter. 5 miles without shouldn't have done that much harm unless you drove on a dirt road or something.

I'm sorry, but thats kind of


if it fell off it should still be in your engine compartment. I have no clue how or why anyone would steal it.

Do you konw what a CAI is... its in the wheel well not in the engine compartment so if it fell of it would be on the side of a road. and some one could have stolen it .

yes, but it should remain in the wheel well cuz there is a cover thing unless you don't have one which is bad. dirty air!!!

pick up another filter for 20-30 bucks

thats what i just did and sounds the same. do you think it will be ok if i keep that 25 dollar cone on it thanks

yeah

yes - there is nothing wrong........thats what everyone does when they feel lazy and dont wanna clean their filter

Change your engine oil and you'll be fine.

sometimes people don't clamp it good. gotta check it once in a while

mine fell off, because i didnt have it connected correctly. i changed my oil and bought a new cone for $50.00. i had no splash guard, and it was off for 100 miles, no problems, just 50.00 more bones.

what if i just changed my oil bout 500 miles ago

Q: What does engine oil have to do with the intake?

Dust sucked in by intake, eventually would end up in your engine oil. I recommend changing it. Even owner’s manual recommends frequent engine oil changes if vehicle is operated in dusty conditions.

i thought you were talking about the oil on the filter

Wouldn't the piston rings/valve seals prevent that? I was under the impression that the oil system was basically closed.

it shouldnt have fallen off...it should still be there in the wheel well ...u gotta make sure u clamp down that sucker hard//// dont be lazy when re-installing the intake....!!!!
