I got this problem ever since I bought the car. The K&N CAI does not want to seem sealed up on the MAF Ends. It just doesnt want to go on. In the event that I can/do get it somewhat good, it moves back to this position.



Do I need another rubber adaptor for the CAI or should I just go to Home Depot and get a rubber hose? Anyone else having these problems?

I go through the same problems with my SLP CAI.

My moroso kit's couplers work well. If the K&N kit is the same setup as the moroso then i'd suggest going to the local ricer shop and get a coupler the appropriate size. Shouldn't be more then $10 or so.

I had to take my MAF off completeley and tighten it down really tight to the FIPK then hook it up to the engine.

My SLP CAI fit on very well and easy..the PITA was getting under the car to install the 2 air filters..

Whenever I would do that, in like 10 minutes of driving it would go back like to picture.

Just sand off the edges a little bit so it will be straight and it will work just fine.

I also had the same problem with my K&N FIPK. I ended up using two clamps on the rubber coupler. I put them together outside of the engine bay. You can see the two clamps in the picture below. I've had it this way since June and it worked until i parked it for the winter in November. (Haven't gotten the car out yet this year)

Same With Mine Only Not As Bad. Just Work With It A Little Bit Should Work Out Fine

i have the same problem with my k&n cai but i dont think it is linking air in to the maf.

oh wait look at your clamp it looks wayyyyy too tight anyhow try not to tighten it too much its just squeezing the maf right out

BradcTA

Put the clamp as close to the MAf as possible. You may have to cut the "rib" off the radiator as per the K&N instructions.

Do you think I can leave the FIPK in the car (airfilter is a PITA to get on and off) and just take off the intake elbow and try it that way?

BradcTA

Yes. Just disconnect the intake elbow from the throttle body

What I did was cut a hold in the part where the filter goes down into the well. So That I can put on or take off my entire intake setup from elbow to filter on and off.

Its a very common issue with the intake elbow, what we did as take me and my friend and we forced into place, it fits perfect. I also throught about hogging out that rib from the MAF to the CAI.
