wow, wasnt expecting it to be that cheap lol. it looks good, if it doesnt fit i could always just cut it into the size i need. If the whole kit is that cheap, the only thing im worried is that the cone filter is going to be just as cheap. for sure im going to get another filter, dont trust these ebay guys.

Yeh, a decent air filter would cost more than the whole CAI kit, which should give you an idea of how rubbish the filter that comes with the kit must be. Get a K&N and you'll be fine for a long time.

Depends on the size of the intake you're using. Probably a 2.5" cone filter is what you need.

The filter that came with the package seems decent too me.

Put the VAF at the end of the alu pipe and attach the filter directly to the VAF.
The silicon coupler between the alu pipe and the VAF need to be heaten up so you can bend it over, make sure to buy a bigger clip since the clips including is too small for this, but will fit at the throttle and between VAF and Filter.

Sry for my bad english etc ..

Yea

hehe whatever they are called, the clamps included is too small to fit between the alu pip and the VAF so you will need a bigger one there

Dno size

Do a search on ebay for "couplers" and "reducers" you can also get larger hose clamps at your local ricer shop to fit your VAF.. The size is 3.5" But you can make 4" ones work like I did if they are out of the 3.5" size.
