What do ya think

I bought a cold air intake off of ebay and was so bumbed that it dident fit right. But with the help of some fellow orgers making fun of me for getting it I was able to do some fabrications to make it work.

No, he didn't install it right!!!

Where the air filter is, is suppose to go on the other side of the pipe. That's your problem there!!! I'll get pics for you. I have the same cai I believe.

Edit: Here is how it is suppose to be setup:



Edit II:






See?

um ya gotta cut a 3" hole.so either a hole saw or drill smaller holes and connect them with a cuts. http://http://www.vqpower.com/v2/art...article_id=103 i got this from a member here it helps a lot. but i got frustrated bc i needed new flex hoses to connect to the vaccum small pipe things on the side of the midpipe.so i jus threw the filter on for a short ram. idk which set up you got but this is pretty general

Actually not really. It's just that one spot you see in the picture. Plus I live in New England and the cars 13 years old so give her a brake if any
