i got an AEM CAI ( the original ) and i was wondering what that thing is for on it it sticks out and has a hole in it. also i got two rubber tubes what do i do with them?

 

vac tube?

you'll remove something just like it from the stock airbox. you can't miss it.

 

don't you have instructions? Its not that hard.

 

If indeed you DON'T have instructions, be sure to learn from me and bend your A/C hose a little so that it doesn't come in contact at all with the CAI...

 

you use one of the rubber tubes to put around the A/C hose.

 

LOL!!! See, now it just gets funnier! I got my CAI from somebody I met here. He just sent it to me free with no instructions. Told me the install was simple and easy, so.... Never mentioned anything about the A/C hose. I say it's funny now because this is the second piece of advice that I've gotten on this and it's actually different from what I was told.

So now I have...
1. Bend the A/C line a little to avoid contact
2. Use some rubber tube to put around the a/c hose (I never got this tube)

Ahh well... I guess the main point is, don't let the CAI come in contact with that hose. Over time you'll have a problem with your freon leakin' out...

I'm no expert of course. Just sharin' the experience.

 

so what about that thing that sticks out on the aem cai? it is closer to the throttle than it is to the air filter outside the engine bay. me and my friends put one of the rubber tubes on it and connected it to something on the engine. was this correct, or did we F up?

 

"and my friends put one of the rubber tubes on it and connected it to something on the engine. " yes and give it a few months and watch the color of that rubber tube if is clear. hey i need a stock intake system, does urs fit a 96accord ex please let me know.
