Thumbs up Installed Wizaired CAI

Whoo Hooo !
I installed the WizAired CAI today after work.
It was a little tough. I think the toughest part was placing
the Air Box on top of the PCM tray. The filter itself was hard to
put on. It kept sliding off.
I will post some step by step photos with suggestions later this week.
Taz, you may want to post them in the "How to Section" ?



I have since moved the K&N decal to the right.

looks great, how does it sound? do you think it will be a pain to clean the filter? how easy was it to install? and if you have to take your car in for work will you remove it before you take it in, just incase your warranty may give you an issue on it, that is, if you have a warranty or not! sorry so many questions, but I have to get mine installed very soon, thanks Richard and congrats

........O.k.....
It definately sounds different now. I drove it around the block and since I live on top of a hill......I had to get on it pretty good
and I can really hear the S/C whining.
To Clean..all I have to do is remove the cover and loosen the clamp
around the intake tube.
It wasn't to hard to install. I took my time and took plenty of photos. Anyone that does this .......NEEDS TO USE PATIENCE.
No Warranty........

It does feel good that I've done this and no leftover parts laying
around.

Default cai sound

.......Well after driving the MC this weekend; I can say that there is a difference in the way the car accelerates. It seems a bit more responsive but not too much of a difference. It's interesting when I first start it up for the day; the CAI sounds like it's gasping for air at first but has I start to drive ,it eventually settles down and runs very smooth.
The sound it makes is probably why they call it "WizAired". It has a Wrrrrrrr sound to it, almost like a tubine car but I can tell that the supercharger is getting more air and is loving it.
I am going to work up photos that I took of the installation and will post them later this week or next week.
Thanks for everyone's advice on this........
Who's next......?

That looks awesome man. It sure cleans up the engine bay (even though yours is already spotless). How does the mod bug feel
