If so...Can you post some pics(Not OSCAI) please? I wanted to see how it was done b/c...
My freakin fuse box on the driver's side wont fit... I measured with the template again to see if I drilled the wrong hole but found nothing wrong..
Do I have to blame Cattman for this?

And Clee...
Can you send me the 2 or 3 pics you took?

Thanks.....

Nope... don't blame Cattman on this because he didn't make the PRCAI... Place Racing did. Try fidgeting with the tube and fuse box again.

PRCAI Intake...

The easiest way for me was to just take everything out of that side of the engine bay and then get someone to hold the wires back while you cut the hole. But hey don't listen to me my check engine light has been on for the last twenty thousand miles. But my car runs fine and everything works. Also just leave the white piece from the underside of the wires off and wrap it with some kind of insulation. You shouldn't have any problems with it fitting then.

Go for the UDP and OSCAI. You can do PRCAI after your warranty is up.

I have one question for you guys. When the CAI is installed. do you remove the plastic covering underside the car that covers the fog lights or leave that thing alone? The issue is how do I get air in that hole and not water? If I remove it, then in the rain water from the tires will feed right into the intake. Any Suggestions on that??

I left mine on... I've seen someone that took the cover off so the filter is completely exposed.

Is that dangerous? Kev I looked at your pic. U didn't take any pics with the tube by itself without the filter installed. when your tube sticks out of the bottom, is it straight or is it pointing backwards a bit? Also does your filter touch the plastic piece on the fender?

I am wondering cars like the Sentra and others don't have the plastic covering like the maxima does and their filter is exposed. so how safe is that when U go through puddles or in heavy rain?
