Anyone with a 96 have a PR CAI?
I have a 96 and decided to lose the Stillen Pop and go to PR CAI. I noticed that the 96 has a sensor at the intake that the 97-99's don't have. Does the CAI provide a whole for the sensor or did you have to make one yourself or something. I was thinking about keeping the stillen cone because it had the whole. Also, can the sensor reach that far or does it need to be made longer?
Thanks,
Erik

I bought mine direct from PR and it had the hole for the sensor already to go, the sensor reached with no problem. The only engineering came when it came time to put on the hoses from the other big vaccum hoses, they don't fit as oem. I went to local auto parts and they let me look and try and fit different hose combos until i found the one that fit it perfect. Be careful though one of the hoses that ended up working best for me, the one that controls the idle, was $15.00 by itself. To me it was worth it since I made the oem fit and it popped off and caused my car to die at idle until I found the problem and replaced the hose with a longer one, now it purrs like before. Other than that PR CAI's are very good about sendinig you all the hardware and even offer support if you get stuck installing. Good luck.

What vaccum hoses? Why would you need to replace them?

I have a 96 SE and purchased a PR CAI. The install was easy. The hardest part was cutting the hole!. The sensor and hoses reached with no problem. The only thing was there is 2 holes for the senor screws on the pipe. There we not big enough so I hid to get a reamer and widen them. I also placed silicon on the plate you screw into. I was worried if the screws got lose the plate would get sucked into the intake. I doubt the screws would get lose but I wanted to be safe. I hope this helps.
