Just intalled my CAI!

Installed it Saturday without any major problems. I had a heck of a time getting everything to line up though. But eventually I got it all.
One slight problem...After driving a little I popped the hood to check on it and the front most hose had come off the CAI piping.
I don't think anything bad happened as a result of this, but is there anything that I should look for? I re-attached it and it has been find since.
My thoughts? I love it! Sound is great, and a nice power pickup. Although switching from the 15" stockers back to the 17" at the same time lessened the effect...it is still great!

Same here. Took me forever to line up the pipings and rubber sleeves. The front hose popping off is a problem. I believe the OEM hose is too short or the CAI is a little off. Go buy a new hose at your local auto parts store or do what I did. Buy a crankcase beather filter for the valve cover and cap off the hole on the CAI.

No real performance benefits->
It does keep the grime from going back into the intake. I just go sick of checking the hose make sure it didn't pop off. Anyway, the breather filter looks cool.
