sorry for the late reply,

and no, so far so good I don't hear any rattles :)

next step is to removed the resonator:
first front bar was taken out to gain access (note: circled where the screws and bolts are)

review from my own experience =

For Carby engine..

I own a EG GL.. I did an experiment using CAI pipe going down thru the bumper grill.. what i noticed from stock piping and CAI has a big improvements.. Im not tryna talk shit or anything.. im saying from my own experience...

What i noticed are the engine response.. Using OEM intake which connects to the hole into the side quarter panel, and CAI.. The oem has more harder suction which i felt that engine was holding back.. I was on first gear.. revd it to 6000rpm.. The rpm didnt move as fast as the diy cai...and wen i use the diy cai, it pretty much went quicker which basically quicker response.. dont know about you carby owners, but it did make a difference to me.. btw, what i mean by cai is not with the pod, its just a pipe sucking in cold air from out side..

Also when i was on M4.. i was driving 100.. Usually the response for me to go to 120 isnt that quick with oem piping, but comparing it to the cai.. it was much quicker response..

and again, it was good shit. lol sorry if i repeated my self a few times

Just sharing experiences :)

go turbo =D

I have a CAI for my dc2. i have 2 custom pipes and a small pipe connecting to my podfilter. I tried installing it but the pod wouldnt fit at the problem. So i just took out one of the pipes and made it into a Short ram intake. Is there any harm of doing that? using cai pipes as a sri?
