The real question is how the hell do you get the baffle back when you turn in your lease....

 

Did you remember to order the BFH?

And yah, if you can't get it installed with my instructions, let me know what steps need to be explained more.

That reminds me, I should make a copy of "X"'s instructions in case his site goes poof.

 

JZ had some good advice for me on the install. He said as follows:

The install is not so bad. Go to xephyrperformance.com and print out his directions (they are a bit different than ours, but they worked for me [the ones AEM give you suck]). The only hard part is removing the second resonator bolt. That alone took me 30min. with the car jacked up. Don't unhook the stock hoses--just stick them onto the AEM hoses and connect to CAI. A couple of other things to notice: you have to remove a small bracket on the side of the car that no directions mention, and (2) push the filter as far onto the tube as possible b/c it will protect the pipe from the bolt near its end.

Holler if you need any more help!

Note:
Make sure you remove the front "Z" bracket just in front of stock air box. That will clear the path for the pipe. It requires a little more werk but, I found that using the new hoses provided by AEM really makes for a real clean looking install.

Amen on the "X's" directions. Use them
as a supplement to AEM's.
Good luck on the install!
