Top ten ways to lengthen an AEM CAI installation
Just letting you know how I managed to make my AEM installation take 5 hours! 
Top ten ways to make your AEM CAI installation take forever
================================================== ====================
1) Cut the AEM pipe with the Fisher Price My First Hacksaw
2) Not realizing you need pliers to unhook the tubing.
3) When going home for the pliers, lock everything in the trunk. (Note: I had already pulled the 2 ton battery out of the car)
4) Get head stuck in Trunk Pass-through trying to find the manual trunk release (I never found it!!!!)
5) Try to pull out only the middle part of the splash guard 'pull out' plugs
6) Valiantly attempt to connect the U-tube to something on the bottom of the car (around the resonator box area)
7) Have a car part fall on you as you are unscrewing something, and have a panic attack trying to figure out where it came from
8) Have a rainstorm start in the middle of the installation.
9) Play a couple rounds of 'Where did I drop that screw'
10) Try to figure out a clever way of weaving the pipe around the blue diagonal cross-bar.

Sucks man.
Gotta say, the only thing I can think of to lengthen the install of a J&J RAP CAI (hehe) is dick around for five minutes trying to get enough grip on the battery to lift it out of the holder.

Here's a shot I took of the trunk release, this time one with the Nav system.
Note the thing you pull is this 'T' shaped thing.
