I should be getting my cai any day now. i was lookin under the hood and saw that it looks like i am going to have to cut out part of the car by the wheel well to get the cai down there. Is this what i have to do? What is the best way to go about this?

 

You shouldn't have to do any cutting. You'll most likely have to remove your stock intake resonator, and then the CAI will sit in that location.
