    Nice, I'd prefer an SRI though because our cars need more help in the low end.

    looks awsome man. i was thinking of ordering from there too. Did you install yourself or get a shop to do it, if so how much did they charge?

    I'll have to say it took me more than 15 minutes to get that thing in, but it's not exactly hard to install.

    I wouldn't pay a shop for it. The un-install took about 10 min's max.

    it did not take me long becouse I did not have the stok in place... so.... it was faster than... removing from the very beginning... stock... and battery... so I planned before trying to do anything...

    1.- remove the old one.
    2.- installed the rubber ring on the system.
    3.- installled the chrome pipe.
    4.- put together the ruber pipe and the chrome one.
    5.- remove the front driver side tire.
    6.- remove like about 5 screws from the mud guard.
    7.- Install the little metal pipe and fasten it to the chassis.
    8.- Installed the fillter and then the hydroshield.

    but the real trick to it was that I did not have to remove anything that was complicated... I had the space...

    I just turned my wheel all the way to the right. Instead of removing the wheel.

    but whatever works

    yeah i got the black cai and it looks sleek, but i dont think you should paint it cause i dont know how well the paint would stick to the chrome. why didnt you just buy the poilshed black?

    for the ones that are getting the cai. if you take your tire off zip tie the mud guard onto the spring. this will save you from getting smacked in the head. :wink:

    didnt see the option to order a black one... but I think if I follow the rules of painting... plus power coat... I might get away with it... can you post a pic of it... so I can get an idea on how it looks... ??

    The black looks nicer because it doesn't accentuate all the crazy bends this thing takes. Looks more sleeper.

    Not so "hey im chrome and shiny and im long and wierd looking!"
