PRCAI tip

An easy way to check on your CAI is to remove the side marker. It is way easier than taking the fender cover off. I also used this to tighten the CAI to the pipe. Easier to get a nut driver in that hole.

5gens w/CAI: look in the side marker hole and see if your CAI touches the rear fender cover. Mine does and I put weather stripping there to slow damage to the filter. If others have that problem I'll contact PR. Maybe we can get a new pipe or something.

Maybe one of yall can give me the specs on that PRCAI piping and let me see if I can "ghetto rig" one up. I love "ghetto rigging".

Like that dude who got the 2002 Max, he made his own "CAI".

Hook me up jo.

need blueprints

we need someone to make blueprints if you want to go that route. I can't accuratley measure the bends. What I can tell you is it is 3" pipe. The filter section is 2 parts welded together, each with its own curve. (2 elbows welded together). The K&N filter is model RU-2820. The upper tube is 3" also plus a little tube to connect to vaccume lines. Good luck.

Anyone got detailed pics of the PRCAI installed? Or a good AZZ writeup? I wanna see if I can take a look at the pics and design my own one.

Also theMax, I know you have to drill a 3" hole in the fender, now the cone actually sits inside that fender? How does it get air "forced" into the cone then? Just dont know how it works.

Check the sticky for install site by pioneer.
Yep drilled a 3" hole next to battery tray
This is a cold air intake not a ram air intake. No forced air.
BTW the filter is a cylinder not a cone.
