5318, Installing AEM CAI Problem.....
Posted by XKenshin55, Jul-17-01 10:20 PM
I'm having problems. I tried to install it, but I think i did something wrong. I couldn't find a whole in the fender well to mount the rubber mount, which is bolted to the inlet pipe support tab. as you can see, the intake is just hanging there, with a hose clamp that is in the center section of the intake. is my crane ignition in the way? i removed it, and there wasn't a place there to put the intake. anyone else know what I should do? I need to know asap so i don't ruin my intake and/or car. thx!

What i did was take out the bolt that is closest to the front of the car where it bolted the old air box on(once you take air box out it should be just an black plastic sheet and a plasctc hole where the intake hose was. i belive it is on the left hand side right under the fuse box there are like 3 bolts or something like that.

hey dood, ur ignition is definately in the way.

it isnt a good idea to have that intake without that rubber "absorber" piece... i think it smooths out the air flow somehow when ur in WOT

On my car, I removed the entire airbox, and there was a threaded hole in the fenderwell that it fit right into. I agree with Kory, you definately want that thing tied down, or else you'll lose the entire lower half of the intake if you hit a road hazard.

Well, where would I put the ignition? I really wanna do this right.. i remembed the ignition yesterday, and found several holes, but the rubber mount didn't seem to turn into the fender well.. which hole is it? And where would I put the Crane Ignition?
