cmoney23 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 Installed my CAI today SHOULD I HAVE TAKEN THE PLATE OFF ON THE BOTTOM TO GET MORE AIR FLOW? HAS ANYONE DOES THIS? Quote
JC03SS Posted March 30, 2012 Report Posted March 30, 2012 Looks good. And yes I took mine off. Your gonna have to keep it clean tho. I take my filter off at least 1 time a month and blow it out then I'm good to go. Quote
silverado777 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Posted March 30, 2012 You might want to reroute your radiator hose. Its turning your cold air intake into a hot air intake Quote

samolson Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 What brand intake is that? It looks good, and the filter is nice and big. Quote

MARTYW Posted April 11, 2012 Report Posted April 11, 2012 I left mine in. My K&N CAI actually has a mounting bracket that attached to the plate. It crossed my mind what you are talking about though. Quote

The more air you can get in and the quicker you can get it in, the better. You might want to reroute your radiator hose. Its turning your cold air intake into a hot air intake I have the same problem with my cai. May just be something associated with low dollar cai kits. Quote
cmoney23 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Posted April 12, 2012 I actually got mine about 1/2" from my tube now. That plastic bracket around your radiator hose that pushes into the hole already on the cai tube. I got it in the right position where i do have a gap between the two. Quote
cb2big4u Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) I have the Aem Cai and encountered the same issue with the radiator hose. I also got a little 1/2" gap on mine also. Still is uncomfortable knowing its right up on it. Edited April 12, 2012 by cb2big4u (see edit history) Quote
silverado777 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Posted April 13, 2012 I wrapped my heater hose with header wrap and also wrapped my intake tube with header wrap. Figured it would help keep the heat out. Quote
BLOWN SS/T Posted April 14, 2012 Report Posted April 14, 2012 Leave that piece out. I got an AEM intake with dry filter setup been meaning to find a big k&n filter to fit. silverado777 so did you reroute or just used wrap? Quote
