Default CAI Question

May sound dumb...But isnt the intake supposed to be apart from the motor? Like the filter in the fender wall or somthing? Mine sits rite on top, idk if they just ran a tube wrong, and if i buy another itll be put ina diff spot?

I bet a dollar the person who had the car before you just cut the black plastic tube and threw a cone filter on it.

Yeah I'd say get a CAI from a manufacturer. That way you KNOW it's right. Besides that the factory tubes have those ribs which **** up the air flow. The CAI's you get are smooth metal inside and won't impede your air flow.

Slow I noticed you have the ground wire kit. Do they actually do anything noticable. I have a voltage stabalize and I never noticed a diffrence.
