So Which one... Buttt I don't want to cut anything.. is this possible? Also is this the best combo with the y-pipe?

 

In my opinion, in terms of performance the best would be the PR CAI or the Cattman CAI. The OSCAI would be not too far back. Both types will give you good gains with the y-pipe. The OSCAI is the cheapest and you can try to hook one up to see if you like it. If you want something more, then you can go to the real CAI. The OSCAI will be the quieter one.

 

how loud is the cai? Which one is better the PR or the cat?

 

PR CAI and Cattman CAI are pretty much exactly the same. As for noise, they can get pretty loud at WOT. You will need to cut a hole in the fender for the CAI

 

cut a hole huh? Do I have to cut a hole for the ooglie one? hmmm think I may try the ooglie out.. I dont want to cut a hole in my shiat

Thanks

 

I was in the same mind set as you DeaZal. I kept saying to myself, "I don't want to cut a hole in my car!" After a while, I got the need for speed and got the CAI. The cutting isn't too bad. You'll never see it because the hole is well hidden. If I can change my mind so can you... and I'm VERY stubborn about things.

 

where is the hole 3.25 midget?

 

On the driver's side in the engine bay... under the fuse box.

 

no cutting required for the ooglie solution unless you have a 2k1. On the 2k1 model, the scoop is sealed at the bottom and must be cut.

 

Must..

put...

on...

PR CAI!

Its been sitting here in my room for 2 months. I'm trying to build up the nerve to cut that hole. Probably next week.

 

Don't worry about it. The drilling should take about 30 seconds........ BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT..... make sure you use the template. Good luck!

 

I dunno guys.. Cut a hole??? How much of a difference is it really going to make?

 

You think I'll be okay if I use a 3.5 inch hole saw? Looks like this whole is 3.25.

 

It'll make a difference when you're moving, but not much on the dyno.


Yup, it'll work.

 

What exactly should be used to cut the cap off on the stock intake for an oscai and what diamtere is the pipe? Also, There seems to be a plastic deflector piece on the bottom of the engine bay, will I have to cut through that as well, cuz I don't see how to reroute it to an opening....

 

The CAI is different than the OSCAI.

 

but ya see... see what happens?? First its the hole in the car.... then its the y-pipe.. then i say to myself.. 14's??? bahhh thats junk... then I say.. s.c? hmm i dunno kev.. i've got about 6g sitting around after I just made some quick cash on NRES.ob you betttterr watchh outttt

 

. . . . . . . . .

 

I Just got my prcai yesterday and installed it today. Dont worry about the hole. I think that was the easiest part of the install. Nothing lined up right. I had to mickey mouse the battery tray in. The instructions sucked and on my first run one of the clamps snapped when I was driving in the city. The tube after the first senser popped out. There was no where to pull over so i drove about a half hour with NO FILTER!!! FAUK. So I ended up stalling out at every stop light.Havent had time to fix it yet but I havent drove it since. Am I in touble?????????????

 

ouch...thats got to suck Just make sure you stick it back togehter before driving off again....
