Flying down univeristy drive (South FL) nuts & bolts started flying up @ me from inside the car, then the floor board cracks out scrubbing the ground sending sparks everywhere, next my CAI flies out from under my car shoots in2 the traffic behind me twirling & bouncing!!!
Moral of the story: brace your CAI 2 the chassis U moron & don't B like me!
Just happened 2 me 2day, my wiffle was actually right behind me, following me. That's the only reason Y I know it happened, she started flashing her lights @ me (couldn't hear her horn). I immediately pulled a U'y & motion what's wrong 2 her. She yells my intake shot out! Well sh*t...
Anyways, she saw it finally rest in the median. Unfortunately, after spending quite some trying 2 find it, we surmised that the punk b*tch (only 1 around) that was walking 2 the bus stop (nearby) in the light rain STOLE IT while we both pulled U'ys just 1/4mile down the road (@ Taft), as it should B very easy 2 C.
:: sigh :: deep breath ::
That's a bit frustrating, anyways... here's some background. I bought the CAI here on the boards 4 $20 including filter sometime ago. The only prob was that the metal brace/clamp thing had broken off, no biggy... especially 4 $20. I swapped it out w/ my stock airbox along w/ an AEM Air bypass valve (neccissary in FL)& kept an eye on it making sure it was secure, B'ing 2 d*mn lazy 2 tie rap it 2 the chassis. This was prob over a good year ago now, no probs.
Now there's something that I just don't understand & what gives me trouble w/ my theif premise. Only the bottom 1/2 of the CAI along w/ the Filter flew out of my car. The top 1/2 of the CAI along w/ the Air bypass valve remain secure. Now... U can't use the bottom 1/2 of the pipe w/out the top 1/2, & the filter was just a cheap/old/used/non-K&N air filter. So a bus-patron walking by could not use it himself (since he's riding the city bus) & he can't sell it Bcause it has no value.
SOooooooooooooo, what the frig happened? I dunno. LaD (my wiffle) & I concluded it couldn't have played pinball in traffic as it rested still in the median as she saw in her own rear mirror, & it wouldn't fit down a storm drain, as it was lightly raining.
Well HMmmmmmmmmmm, this sux... I didn't really loose what matters 2 me, the AEM air bypass valve, but now I'm out a CAI that I got an unbelievable deal on. I'm glad my wiffle was driving Bhind me, or I'd have never know it either. Also, neither of us were pressed 4 time, so we were free 2 search 4 the lost artifact. If something had 2 happen, I'm glad it did as it did.
Anyways, I'm now in the market 4 another (2-piece, 2.5") CAI, any1 wanna sell me 1? Can any1 come close 2 my previous sale price of $20 including filter? I'll B suprised if so. But hit me up if U got 1, I'm looking 4 it (& 4 a good/fair price pleaz).

It's kinda like :: yawning :: Most of my friends I talk 2 online grow accustomed 2 it, don't C it as shorthand but actual wordz. They laugh @ themselves when they use it themselves, albeit by accident.
