Mavrick,
I installed my CAI intake over the weekend and I didnt have to use a reducer on my installation. The supplied filter fit right over the MAF. I did notice that the intake tube and the hole for the filter in the box did not lineup very well and there is a slight pull of the upper intake hose. I believe that a 3.5" piece of 22 degree bent tubing could remedy this little problem. How did you get yours to lineup so nicely?

Otherwise, I am very happy with the way this turned out and performs.

AWESOME MAN,

I lined it up by angle-ing the air filter to the maf sensor connected to the hose, it took some time and patience. you might just need a coupler that will give you the space to line up better. i just angled the air filter put the coupler over it and tightend it down and connected the mass air flow sensor to the other end of the coupler. take a picture and email it to me

i will take a look and see how yours looks. it just takes some playing around with to line it up. If I see a picture might give me a better idead where your at.

Cool mod and way to go with it.

was the 1st one you put in a cheap ebay one? Basically would the insulation box be necessary if you didnt have a cheap one is what im windering...i have the same 06 3.9L and I wanna get a cold air intake

looking at KN's theirs seems to have a heat shield on it already <http://www.knfilters.com/search/appsearch.aspx> u gotta look at the 5.3L version, then read the general description and it says the heat shield is attactched. Looking in my stock engine, theres plenty of space for that up in there. Only prob is its not legal in Calif...F***!

also I used to have a 07 with 20s and they rubbed like crazy especially if someone was sitting in the back. But later i found out it had been in an accident and had suspension damage so that may have been the issue... how are yours with rubbing?

sick car man that is awesome
