i'm probably going to be installing an aem cai within the next month or so. i would really like to do the installation myself, are there any problems that you guys had, or hints? it seems fairly straigh forward, am i missing something?

got any questions just ask me

just a couple, youll have 2 hoses, the one from the valve goes to the plug, you stick the filter in the small hose thats left, the plug to the IAC(box conected to the bottom of the intake) you leave it unpluged, you cap off the hard pipe near the firewall, youll see..

well i did like the cai it was awesome, i wish i just bought a ram air intake instead of the bypass valve though, i think im just gonna buy one of those canvas things that take out the bypass valve in the summer

i got my intake in yesterday, along with the bypass valve. it wasn't too hard. it is much louder than i expected though. i have stock exhaust and it sounds more or less like a rocket ship taking off above 3 grand. is this normal?
