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.

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