      Chromeintakes CAI Review.

      Hey folks. My CAI from Chromeintakes just arrived last Friday. I got it installed Saturday morning. It only took me about... 45 minutes to an hour I'd say, to install the complete unit. The longest part was probably removing the sensor that was glued into the old pipe. Pain in the ass cutting out the rubber that was all around the silly thing. I then had to get creative with it because it didn't exactly fit perfectly in the new hole, but I was able to shave down some of the plastic and put a rubber grommet onto it to hold it in place. The other tube (I guess a vacuum hose or something) didn't line up either, but I just ran over to Home Depot and purchased a small black rubber hose to fill the 3 inch space. Anyways! All in all a very good buy. I got it off of Ebay for pretty cheap. Delivery was fast too. They quoted about 2 weeks to get up here to Canada, when in fact it only took about 5 days. I have already noticed considerable differences in higher speeds while driving. Not to mention it has a cool lower rumble/vortex noise then the stock air filter system he he. As for fuel efficiency, I will find out by the end of the week. I installed it on empty and only just filled my tank, so I will see how it works out. I will post pictures after work. I have yet to post any pictures since joining the website (been busy), but I have so far done a few small mods which I will take some pics of later. Just thought I would share my review of this great little CAI kit!

      Just got my AEM cai in today (cost me $200), took all of 15 min to install, now I need to order the AEM bypass for it, the cai I have is one full pipe, I will have to cut out a section of the pipe when I get the bypass.
