Everyone uses this phrase in reference to warranty because of the Maguson-Moss Act. First off, A dealer can refuse to work on anything that's not in its original manufactured state, secondly tell that to the folks here trying to get a steering wheel replaced when their car is still under warranty, and the steering wheel hasn't been modified.

reduction of 6hp really isn't bad if thats all the disadvantage this does...

Seriously? (That's usually more difference than people hope to gain with an aftermarket cai)

Why even do it then? If it's just to make a vroom vroom sound, you can always get one of these:

Do u do both boxes

yeah try to make same size holes in both

here is how i did mine, same size cuts

finally did mine...definitely louder....kinda sounds like a ricer now tho...and feels more laggy and not as quick...i hope the hose on the bottom of the airbox is secured with the attachment hose on the car..is there a way to check this?

yea one thing that would suck would be if that hose breaks right in front of the box lol

RICER?! hell naw lol imho it sounds more muscle...
I'm not sure what that hose at the bottom is for but mine kinda just slots on every time...just check to make sure it looks aligned

I apologize for all the questions....last one....should i reset the ECU to compensate for all the extra air being taken in????

Resetting the ecu shouldn't hurt anything, but I doubt you're taking 'extra' air in with this mod; more like you're just letting 'extra' noise out.

How would I reset it???

I've heard two different ways but never tried it
1 - unplug the neg battery for 24 hours or
2 - unplug neg from battery and depress brake for ten secs
