So Rock your recommendation is to not wait for the CAI because the SRI which you offer takes in so much air it cancels out heat.
That's what he's saying. I don't think there will be a CAI because of the way the engine bay is laid out. Just no room. And Rob feels that the SRI is very effective.

^^isnt a CAI somewhat possible if the battery is relocated? i would think that someone who is determined to find a possibility for a CAI will find a way.

NOt many people will want to move battery for an intake. We are still going to try again but not heart broken if it does not happen. We have another idea to implement though.

I think the Muffler is bolt on, Am I correct, the intake is not that hard at all to install all you do is take the stock airbox out them move the air sensor to the new intake. Not hard at all, all you need is basic hand tools. Rock tell me if im right here ?

the intake is a piece of cake to install, just few things to remove and then you can bolt it right up! the exhaust is bolt on, talk to showtime for more info he has one.

The only thing to be careful of is the maf sensor they are delicate and expensive. don't have your car on the on position when unplugging the sensor or you might get a CEL. You probably want to disconnect the negative battery cable before you do anything. It is not a big deal, you just don't want to arc the battery to anything since the ECU is very close to the air filter

CONGRATS Frickn sweet isnt it! I love the way the intake sounds and the performance you get out of this $150 mod. And yes you guys the exhuast is bolt on and it uses some stock components(rubber hangers). You just undo two bolts slip the old muffler off the rubber hanger( lol it helps if you spit on the dam braket to slip the rubber off ) take your new RRM exhuast(be careful put a towel down if your not doing this on a lift) slip it up to the flang put new bolts in but dont tighten them till you hang the exhuast so then hang it, then tighten the bolts till your hand hurts (needs to be good and tight because of vibration) and then jump in your ride and haul @ss

you don't need to do anything with the battery but assemble the intake before putting it in the engine bay, i dropped one the screws that required the allen key twice and then took it out and did it that way (much easier).

It's always wise to unhook the battery. It prevents shorts/shocks in the electrical system and also resets the ECU so the car relearns A/F curves when you turn it back on.

TO unplug t he MAS just make sure the car is oFF! When you are cutting wires lalala, then disconnect the battery. As for the intake, my Mom could install it, but then she is MY Mom.
