Well, this is "learn from my mistakes" week. I swear, one thing after another has gone wrong for me. Now, guess what? I bought a CAI from a dealer on Ebay. I should have known better, because I paid a total of $50 for the thing, shipping and all.
Well, everything was going well installing it until I realized the bottom of the plate where it goes down into the wheel well wasn't lining up. After fiddling with this part of it for 2.5 hours, I gave up. The thing is just a cheap piece of garbage. I got what I paid for!
So. Now, I am going to save up for a GOOD intake. Probably a Straighshot, or something else like that. It's gotta be something easy to install, because I'm not going through all that crap again.
To everyone on here... don't buy cheap junk off Ebay! Common sense, I know. Don't get me wrong, Ebay has some really great stuff on there, but there is always someone out there willing to make a buck off of the cheap stuff.
I'm going to get 4.10's put in this week too. A shop is doing that, though. I'm not much of a mechanic beyond a CAI (and maybe not even that much of one, apparently). Nah, I give myself more credit than that. It really is just a piece of junk intake. It even had some bolts and a piece of tubing missing that I needed to have! Hopefully I won't have trouble with the 4.10's when they get in there now....
