I went SRI for awhile..since I got mine during the winter...I went to CAI a couple of months ago. Search the How To section and you should be able to come up with a good how to, which tells you that removing the wheel liner is the easiest way to install the CAI.

Thanx, will do. Yeah, i think i will go CAI for a while just because of the really hot and dry summer we have had, and we could really use the rain so...if i do go CAI it will probably rain which will help everyone hahaha.

I just installed my intake a couple hours ago. I first went with it as a sri but i wasn't too impressed (i really wanted an increase in the high rpms) so i went with the CAI setup and i couldn't be happier. I would i have to agree with some of the people on here though, i do think my gas mileage is going to go down because now i can't keep my foot out of it. I just can't get enough of that sound

Congrats on your CAI, I too have an Injen, and I love it. The SC screams!!! But I know what you mean about having a lead foot, cuz you gotta hear that whine.

If youre asking me, I removed the left front wheel, and the left inner fender liner. It took me like 20 min. to install, very easy.

I took out the wheel well stuff. If i had to do it all over again (because of the removing of factory crap) I would take off the bumper or take out the headlight. But it wasn't that bad. I swear, i had no idea what people were talking about when they were saying its loud and such (had never had a CAI or anything) but i love it. Can't wait to get exhaust next! (hopefully get it in the begining or middle of september)
