I just bought a CAI from Cattman for my '99 SE. It comes with a few pieces of paper the manufacturer (Place Racing) refers to as an "Installation Guide" if you can call it that. In a word...It stinks!

I am trying to figure out where the paper template is supposed to go so that I can cut through the wheel well. It is supposed to line up over the battery holder mounting holes, but I can seem to get it situated to where I would be confident enough to cut my beloved SE.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Jim

 

As far as I remember from my install, you have to remove the battery holder and line up the template with the holes.

the template then can line up againest some of those holes that holds the battery tray.

 

I was able to start cutting the hole, but as I am using a small jigsaw with a metal cutting blade, I can only get so far before I run out of room to use the saw. The jigsaw isn't very good in small spaces.

What else could I use to finish the cut?

Once that is done, how can I access the space beneath so that I can mount the air filter element?

Thanks,

Jim

 

Doug,

Do you mean those round saw attachments to a standard drill?

Also, what's Tony's email address? His install looks good.

Thanks,

Jim
