Can someone please take a measurement for me. I need to know the distance from the opening of the throttle body (the edge closest to the firewall), to the opening of the fender mounted air filter (the edge closest to the headlight). In other words, the length of your CAI from the far side of one end of the tube to the far side of the other end of the tube.

Or, if you dont have an aftermarket CAI, the distance from the far side of the throttle body opening to a control point near the passenger side headlight of the car, lets say the hood bumper/stop that threads into the radiator support.

If you can do this for me, please tell me: The measurement, Where the measurement was taken from, The brand CAI that you have, and the year of your vehicle.

Thank you very much in advance

My car is a 1996 v6 with a bbk cai. With the cai in place it is roughly 28 1/4 . That is from far side of throttle body to far side of pipe going in to the finder

Thank you very much. I did a fox (86-93) throttle body swap on my 94 5.0. I tried using a combination of 93 CAI parts and 94 CAI parts, but that didn't work out. I am now trying to figure out which CAI will fit the best with my new setup. I am thinking the v6 CAI will do the trick, but with this information I can find out for sure before ordering any parts

On my car the throttle body faces the passanger side of the car . Just given this info because I have no clue if the one you have faces the same way. Good luck with it.
