I just got my Cold Air in today and it seems that if i put it in that the pipe will be running into the battery and i dont think that can be right so any suggestions? Also i didnt realize that there are about 3 wire clips plugged into the stock intakes plastic pipe what do u do with them when u put the new metal one on and what are they?
Thanks

If it''s an MKIV you remove the battery and it will fit underneath it and you put the battery back in. And the plastic part of the intake stays.

it shud fit just fine. i have the an 00 glx and the pipe shud go right around the battery. the other wires should stay. im guessing that you''re talking about the maf sensor wires. leave all of that in and just attach the cai onto the maf sensor.

Interesting never heard of this method, what exactly did you do to your car? Usually its piped to the right of the battery and down into the front of the wheel well...
