AEM CAI installed!
Look for a HOWTO soon!
But first, a few notes/questions:
Is this part of our car? I was unscrewing the
splash guard and it fell out.

I had a weird time with the install because several things that people thought were difficult I thought were easy, but I was having a tough time with things nobody else complained about, so......
By the way, do AEM's instructions suck or what? You need you be Jens to follow them, I think.
Overall the install was pretty easy. I had a tough time with some things that were easily avoidable if you know what you're doing.
I won't say all the usual things - it's louder, duh, we'll see about mileage.
Did anyone have a hell of a time getting the resonator box out? Xephyr's instructions and it says, 'don't let the resonator box fall on you when you unscrew it' so I carefully unscrewed both screws and NOTHING happened. The tube that sticks up would not go through the hole, and I had a hard time forcing it through. Eventually I got on top of my car and kicked that sucker through! Take THAT!!!!

No... you dont have to be Jens to follow instructions... I didn't have any instructions or experiences and I installed a modified CAI in an hour (a little more or less). Seems like you dont have enough patient to work with your car ... hire me, next time
