Ok it wasn't tough at all, what I would recommend for those buying the relocated water bottle, is install the bottle 1st but don't locate it on the fender until the CAI has been installed. I also didn't reuse the grey plastic cable holder that is next to the nut/stud holding the frame of the air box down..

WOT is where I can "hear" the difference…

I had to muscle the lid a bit to get the ¼ turn
screws to locate ..

other than that it looks great..

It is a pretty easy install. Glad that you are happy with it.

Cold Air Intake. There is also a manufacturer called Cold Air Inductions Inc, aka: CAI Inc..

Recheck all you connections and disconnecting the battery over night is not a bad idea.

Question for you guys...is there any difference in setups between 10-12 and the '14 model year? There's a company I like to use but they only list 10-12 years because they haven't put one of their kits on a '14...they said it should work but can't confirm....there's no different in the routing or anything right? It doesn't look like it.

Are you referring to the Vararam?

If so that is correct, it will not fit the 13+, but I don't remember the cutoff month/year where the rad offset changed, most likely sometime 2012 but don't quote me on that figure.

FrostySS · 01-11-2015, 07:01 PM

No, Spectre, just a regular intake, not an anything like the Vararam

FrostySS · 01-12-2015, 09:09 AM

They just haven't tested it yet(according to them), is there anything physically different between a 10-12 and 13-14??

There is nothing major but I know CAI Inc had to notch their heat shield to accommodate the newer cars.

FrostySS · 01-12-2015, 09:31 AM

Ok, thanks for the info.
