Default C&L CAI Install question
Just put the C&L CAI on. My question is the pvc tube connection on the passenger side. The C&L aluminum section has a tube that is about 3 inches long. When you put the pvc on, the connector "with the green tab" does not go all the way on. Should it? Does anyone have pics of a correctly installed unit that shows this connection?

Nice pic.

Mine looks the same way. So, that is normal.

It should seal against the insulation. Is it leaving an impression in the insulation? IS the hood difficult to close?

I wouldn't worry to much, mine did the same thing. At least you know you're getting a good seal!
