Cold Air Inductions install.

[meschwenk]

It has been a great weekend. I received my Black powder coated Cold Air Inductions CAI from Auto Agenda with the ADM Performance Street Cold Air scoop (Thanks Brain I hope I wasn't to much of a pain) and from Apex Motorsports the Washer Tank Replacement Kit. Here are some photos of the install. There is the one photo (#8) with the black lines that shows where to cut the plastic for the ADM Cold Air scoop. If your thinking of doing this just do it!

Looks good! I did pretty much the same thing except I went with the Roto-Fab washer bottle.

Did you have a problem with removing the horn bolt to install the scoop? Mine was a pain in the a$$! I ended up cutting it off and drilling through to put the new bolt in.

You're right, Brian with AutoAgenda is the man!!!

Thanks! No I did not have any problem with removing the horn bolt. I did try the nut first, but I noticed that the nut is tack welded to the metal, so I had to get a small socket and ratchet to remove the bolt from the front side where the horn is and it came out real easy.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I tried from the other side as well but without the luck that you had.

For you, I wouldn't be to sure. Being in AZ and the dust that is out here, I make sure to clean it @ the 3,000 mile mark every time (been doing this with all of my cold air intakes since 97).

i really wouldn't see a need to order another filter. I'm usually at about a half hour total in cleaning time (cleaning, drying and oiling) and then I put the filter right back on. As far as the recharge kit, you could pick it up at pretty much any auto store (NAPA, O'Reilly, etc...).

Hope this helps!

Honestly, you can pick off some of the heavy debris and do a visual inspection but an actual "recharge" probably wont be needed for at least 10,000 miles, probably more (depending on your driving conditions) If you do not feel like you will have enough time to let the filter dry before you need to use the vehicle, you can definitely pick up another filter. A lot of people who like to take ther time take this route, and having another filter on hand is never a horrible problem to have. Both the recharge kits and filters are available on our websire for sale. Our recharge kit is specially formulated for our filter, and use of another recharge kit will void the warranty.

FYI - On some brand filters this is the case, however our filter is different and our recharge kit is specially formulated for the filter media we offer. Unlike multi-layer gauze filters which can fray and release fiber particles into your engine, our filter uses two layers of tightly-interwoven cotton fabric. The 3 main benefits to woven cotten are the fact its thinner, holds oil better, and is stronger. Since its thinner, it allows better air flow without sacrificing filtration. The cotton holds the oil more evenly, and the medium is much stronger. Unlike gauze, you cannot wear a hole in woven cotton by rubbing it, and there is no way small bits of cotton can rip off since its interlocked with another piece.

Trust me, I am not just saying this to scare people into buying our recharge kit, we literally make like $1 on these things. I recently had a guy recharge our filter with a competitors recharge kit he had in the garage, and it completely ruined the filter meida causing him to have to buy another. It also caused the MAF to need to be cleaned because the oil that was not designed for our filters would not absorb properly into the filter pleats and the oil was being sucked into his engine.

Hope this helps!!
