short ram out cai in....installed partially...but got late so left it as is....it came with some rubber piece..looks like it goes on the screw by the battery...but screw wasnt long enough so left the old one...plus the metal piece to hold in intake in place didnt reach the hole anyways...it didnt reach because the filter is rite on the bumper and cant go any more foward....im thinkin of cuttin it...or is this the way it should go??

also...as while i was driving..ran over a puddle didnt think it was big...but water went everywhere...pulled over just touched the filter to see if it was wet...and it was soaked...the puddle wasnt high jus a lot of splashing...

 

does any one hav pics of there filter??

 

my filter points down, i have an aem.. the end of the pipe doesnt bend forward like yours and where is your fender liner.. you kind of need that to protect it from water

 

my v2 cai slants down too. I bought an injen hydro shield for the filter as a little added protection. It will also act as a prefilter.

 

You need a fender liner.

 

^^never really needed one or cared til now....its on the list.....

and thats what im thinking...cut it where its pointing down..so i can screw in the support...but still hangs low....

pics of there own anyone

 

get a fender liner and it'll stop water from splashing on to your filter. get it asap before you hydrolock your motor if you get in deep enough water

 

yeah without a fender liner youre going to be hard pressed to keep it dry or damaged..

 

I don't understand...what happen to your original fender liner...?

 

I stole it

 

^^^^ yea i been wondering where you went.....lol

mega i bought the could with it missin....i didnt care about it b4....but i do now...plus the other side is like melting away with all the tire rubbage..but somtin is better then nuttin

 

mine is AEM and it points forward like urs. the screw next to my battery is screwed in too. what brand is urs?

 

ebay knock off (all pipes do the same)... 3in made it a bitch to strap onto the throttle but i got it after a quick water break...

 

Get yourself a fender liner, Driving without one is stupid(especially with a CAI). You will have all sorts of problems without it. Your filter will clog fast, get wet EVERY time it rains and be susceptible to all sorts of damage.

 

Also get the clips to hold the other one inplace properly so that it doesnt rub on the tire.
