I also have the CAI from Cold Air Inductions and I am very happy with its performance. The only problem I have with the product was no matter what I did I could not get rid of the gap between the metal frame and the enclosed box itself. I can see by the pics in this thread that JOEYKL66 is also having that happen.

If I may add, I don't think the small gap hurts performance in anyway but look wise it may bother some.

BILL if you are reading this. I was the member last year from Toronto where you dropped the product off for me at the post office in Memphis, Mich for pickup. Im the guy who sent you the pics of the Black powder coated CAI for the 2006 SS which you are using on your site. I emailed you about the problem and you sent me the following reply..

those pads correct?

Also make sure you have the clips from the installation packet in the
correct orientation, if they are incorrect it can result in the box
being loose. Refer to the installion instructions.

back on.

I hope that this helps, thanks for the pics.

Do you have the side that has the small gap pushed all the way as far as it will go with the longated bolt holes? If you loosen up the bolts holding it in place you should be able to adjust the box better, and then re-tighten it back down. If you do that you should be good to go!
