HelloEveryone,

I just wanted to make a quick post to inform you all of a slight designchange/improvement that we have made on our CAI's. This change will be presenton all of our CAI applications, and is something that has been suggested frommany of our customers.

As you probably already know, our CAI's include a removable lid which featuresa filter inspection window. The lid is held into place with stainless steelspring loaded 1/4 turn fasteners which allows the lid to be easily removed aswell as secured into place with only a 1/4 turn. Up until this point the headon these 1/4 turn fasteners has always been a flat head slot for a screwdriver,however many people suggested that we look at changing the head style due tothe screwdriver being prone to slipping off and possible scratching the lid ofthe airbox.

The 1/4 turn fasteners we use will now have a recessed hex style head whichwill allow your hand tool to lock into place more securely, thus greatlyreducing the possibility of a slip of the hand causing a scratched productduring installation. The recessed hex head will fit an 1/8" allenwrench (aka hex key). Other than the head being different, it is stillstainless steel and spring loaded. Although the design change is now active forcurrent production, there are still CAI's on the shelf as well as on theshelves of our dealers that will have the flat head faster style, don't fret ifyou get that style, we have used that fastener successfully for nearly 10years!

We hope this change allows for an easier installation as well as reduced oddsof slipping the tool off the 1/4 turn. Although this is just a small change, Ithought that many of you would be glad to hear about it. We are always lookingfor ways to improve our products, and always encourage customer feedback andreviews so that we can continue to supply you with the highest quality CAIavailable!

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, thanks!

Bill Thanks for the HeadsUp!
Looks like a nice Improvement and definately more practical functionality!

Thanks!

 

Thank you, all the little details add up in the end!

 

Just installed my CAI with the new modification you guys added but it was a great install! I'll be posting a review soon with a high speed installation video!

 

That's awesome man, thanks for choosing Cold Air Inductions Inc.! Post up some pics!!
