Tell him to take 10 minutes to clean under his hood. I'd be embarrased on both counts.

What is sad is neither he or his dad knew it was wrong

i am not mechanical, so when i get a CAI, i have a mechanic friend who will put it on for me, and i will even pay him for the install. i know and admit i am stupid with cars, and i dont take chances or do stuff i aint sure i know what i am doing.

I'm 15 and put the K & N Air intake that I got this Christmas in my Camaro by myself for the most part! Pretty easy, can't believe someone would screw up an install that badly, just follow the instructions! I mean how do you leave the throttle body exposed like that!

He could have googled how it's supposed to look...

Tell him to never open that hood again, he'll probably put windshield washer fluid in with the oil.

Hours and hours of work?

Yea I'm with him what took hours and hours. Should have been 5 min unless you took the intake off to clean everything out.

I installed an Airaid on my GS and in less than 30 miles the CEL came on ,I knew it was the Airaid system, so I put the stock cleaner on and the light went out,I made contact with Airaid and they sent me a new air horn ,we checked it out and there was a pinhole in the first horn,so your friend must have had that CEL on for some time! Crazy to ignore an engine light.
