Installed my Ebay CAI
 

Yesterday I got my "chromeintakes" Cold air intake for my 2001 Silverado.
Unwrapping everything, I was pleased to see the air "box" was steal and painted nicely black. It fit perfect in the factory air box bottom holes. The polished 4" tube looked nice also. It took me a little bit to figure out that I have to use the rubber piece and one clamp from the factory unit to attch my MAF. There was NO direction at all. Not even a single paper saying, hey, fuck you, nothing. I installed it in about 30 minuts and only needed a flat head screwdriver and 1 - 10mm wrench. Piece of cake.

I havent got out and melted the tires off with all my new-found stupid high RWHMF'NP or nothing but Logically im sure it did help out a little. By removing the metal bottom on the fender well it makes your engine draw air from under which would be much cooler than inside the factory airbox.


Overall Im happy with my $90 Cold air intake.

Got a link for where you got it on eBay?

I got mine ebay intake about 2weeks ago, forgot what was the make. But looks good and easy to install. Exactly what baSICK5.0 describes his is. My truck is still slow though

In the pictures I have the foam installed as the online pic showed but it dont fit tight at all there so I used it to go under the tube where it passes thru the box. seal it off nicely and supports the tube tighter.

That's funny. :lol::jest:

Bumping an old thread, but did you put the tray that's under the stock air box in after installing the CAI, or did you leave it out? The holes didn't line up for me, so I left that bottom tray off. Do I need that?

Remove the steel plate.

Insulate the box, 3M spray adhesive holds it on perfectly.


Wrap the tube, including the silicone adapters.


Paint it all black if the silver bothers you.

So the way I have it now (without the steel plate or anything) is not correct? Will it hurt anything to leave it that way? I would think the air coming up from underneath would be beneficial.

its is, leave the plate OUT.

Thanks, I appreciate it. If I'd have just read the last sentence in the OP, I'd have answered my own question. :sigh:
