There is no cutting of anything. You do need to remove the stock airbox pieces that includes the resonator stuff.

is the only thing different from the short ram and cai is that the cai is a longer tube to get air from the bottom because its cooler?

thats not what i was talking about i was talking about the extra resonator box or whatever you want to call it you have to rip off to get the intake in..... 3.0 vs 2.2 intake placement is common knowledge

That's why I was respondung to SLooo97cl.....not you.
and all the parts of the stock intake stuff have to be removed.
it's common knowledge that when installing an intake ALL parts of the stock intake should be removed. even the box inside your fender.

why would you have to take the box out from inside the fender if you have a short ram... tubes run from behind the bumper to right next to the filter...
