well thanks!
my buddy and i was saying WTF?!
i was probably too excited. anyways those pics would be helpful cause i dont know exactly where to cut...
Thanks
My digital camera is down at the moment...plus I've never posted pictures (so I would need to research the process)...
On the Fujita CAI there is a break/connection in the intake prior to it turning down...there is not enough space to install the bypass at that point as it is too close to the battery.
So as far as where to cut...I removed the Fujita name plate and cut approx. 3 1/2 inches back from the sensor mounting (towards the front of the vehicle) this places the bypass about where the old air box was located...there is plenty of room so the distance is not that critical.
I just used a hack saw to cut the intake pipe being careful to make sure that I cleaned up any metal filings...I did not remove the intake, but had someone hold the intake steady while I cut...then removed the forward portion of the intake and made the second cut on it (to remove the portion that would be taken up by the bypass).
The instructions provided with the bypass have a template for just how much to cut off (about 1 1/2 inches) so that the intake remains the same overall length for re-installation.
Hope this helped...and at some point I'll try to post pictures (but, I don't know when.)
