Default Airraid CAI

I need some help on installation. I read that you can easily break your air flow sensor. Any tips for a safe and easy install? Thanks in advance!

remove the wire harness from the sensor first, then the sensor will be easier to wiggle out

The Airaid is very easy to install! The only tough part is removing the air sensor. What I did was use a sharp utility knife blade and carefully cut from the outside edge of the rubber tube to the sensor (1 inch or so if I recall correctly). If I ever install the stock intake the cut can easily be repaired or sealed. After cutting the rubber the sensor easily pops out, remember to dampen/lube the sensor before pushing into the new intake.

Mine just got delivered to me at work!!!

I wanna install this badboy when I get off at 6 but I"m not sure I'll have enough daylight time. The box says "installs in minutes" but I find that hard to believe.

How long does the install actually take?

Install in 30 min max and thats being very careful with the sensor....which requires no special tools just gentle elbow grease and sweet talk!

I believe the general concensus is that the gas mileage isn't really changed much, but that you can definitely feel a bit of a HP gain. Mine is getting delivered by the end of the week, and I do plan to track the gas mileage just to see if there's any type of increase.
