yes that was aimed toward you. I did install my intake (but if you can't do something like that, it's just sad) and took out all of the intake system.
I'm not sure if i want to make my own cai or make the one with the stock air box I think no matter what i do i will coat everything with ceramic engine paint, i want the gray color that the aem comes in. I saw some at home deopt, said up to 1200 F, it won't get that hot in there.
