The insurance guy looks at the engine bay, notices that the CAI is the same color as the throttle body and intake manifold... and probably gets confused as to how the engine is layed out.

(VR6's have an unusual setup, the throttle body's near the back, but the intake manifold runs over the engine and the runners are near the front).

ANYWAY.

The insurance adjuster apparently thought it was a stock intake system, so he went ahead and authorized a rebuild. So, basically, anything that was damaged, I'm getting a new one. Maybe I can talk them into putting in a few... "other parts"... while they're at it...

Moral of the story though... buy a short-ram for crying out loud... Make your real power somewhere else... don't risk a CAI.
