Modshack,

I installed your cai ventilation system last night and all went smoothly. I do have a one question. Does a 2.5" tube allow enough air to enter the filter area - I noticed after my installation that you trimmed the aluminum flanges. Was that to allow more air in off the sides or just to make it fit? Also, were you able to route the tubes so they can't be seen from the front - haven't been able to do that yet. Thanks.

Cool!

The front flanges were trimmed to fit better (bring the bottom of the flange up flush with the Fang opening) , the back flanges were ones I had leftover from another project and were already cut. You should be able to get plenty of air through there regardless..

On the tubes, I got the drivers side out of sight. The Passenger side still shows a little, but I went in from the top with a long Zip tie and snugged it toward the top a bit. You really need to look for it now to see it..
