Hey guys, I just got my AEM Polished CAI in and I'm planning on installing it this weekend and was wondering if there was anything tricky about installing it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated it. Thanks a lot...

Bend it outwards so u don't scrape your intake or better yet cut it out w. a dremel

cant belive 97blacklude beat me to it lol, was also going to mention be prepared to bend the metal or dremel it out. IMO, I would dremel it, give it the stock look. I bent mine, it looks so ghetto lol!

To make the hole look better, cut a piece of small vacuum hose down one side and pushed it on the edge all the way around. Looks good, and keeps the intake pipe from rattling against the chasis

This is really simple, but after you dremel the hole bigger take some tuch up paint and go around the opening and any other place you nicked to prevent rust
