Cai Question ????

sorry guys i just had a quick question about a pr cai. I was looking in to buying one in the next few days and just had to ask a question first before I do. I know you need to drill a 3 inch hole in the fender but besides that do you need to move or relocate anything else. I want to do this but dont want to move my battery or really anything for that matter. Thanks and please let me know

Ive had the PR CAI in my 97 for over a year and love it. Other then cutting the hole you DO NOT have to move anything else. It fits in there perfect.

**************that is NOT the PR CAI, that is a knock off. **********

hack your airbox with a 3" hole and run a hose to a hole in the fender that you could seal easily. save yourself a few hundred

i have the pr cai and you don't have to move anything around. just make sure you have the tools to drill that hole that's all.

I took out the battery and shelving prior to instaling my cai to give me more room to work with, I do not think you really have to do that though. After all was finished the battery went right back where it started. So no, you do not have to move anything.

what did you guys use to drill the 3" hole. in my old car i had to cut the hole bit by bit with a dremel and fiberglass cutting wheel. that worked but i think there might be an easier way.
