Got a CAI from ebay like the one in the link.

What all is involved in installing it? I work for a dealership and the tech that i was going to get to do this says its going to take a couple of hours to do. For a cold air intake??? He has done work for me before, cause I just dont have the time anymore, but he has always done right by me. He is telling me that the battery has to moved and stuff like that, is this true?

 

yeah it could take an hour or 2, you have to move a bunch of stuff.

anyone have an idea where the location of the filter would be? I am guessing since the battery needs to be removed that it would be around the location where the battery is now.

 

You do have to remove stuff out the way to make it clear for you to work. Mainly your intake box and everything connected to it. Also your batter. From what I hear you have to cut out a hole on the driver side wheel well so you can run it thru.

 

I emailed the guy that was selling this item if i had to cut into my vehicle, according to him i didnt. Thought it was a hybrid intake, but i guess i was wrong or the guy that was selling me the item didnt know how it was installed and if i really did have to cut into my vehicle or not.

 

You might have purchased warm air intake. Those are like CAI but they don't extend as far down in the car. Do you have the ebay link?

we cant tell what type of intake this is by lookin at the pic, the pic doesnt even show what u have in ur hands does it. no way to help....

 

thats like the injen i think, just goes down next to the exhaust manifold(nt very cold if ya ask me)

 

Are you all taking crazy pills??

The intake on the website provided is obviously a true cold air intake, which would involve cutting a hole in the fender well... I don't know if the seller knows what he's talking about, but if your intake is exactly like the one in the link, it's a CAI and you'll have to do some cutting (and yes, moving the battery).

 

you only move the battery to cut the hole it goes right back where it was, the filter is in the fender. It's the install directions! It shows you exactly what to do.

look at my link!!!
