Default Got SLP intake installed!

Took off lid

Take off the plasitice peice over the radiator and A/C unit. Than pull the top plastic shroud in front of the A/C unit out

Put in the CAI and connect it with the bottom plastic peice

Cut plastic that holds filter. Screw in CAI and put the seals on each side and put all plastic covering back on...
TOP VIEW!!!

Pic from the bottom


Took me about 35 mins and was pretty easy

It should be fine without the EGR and stuff hooked up. It will throw codes I'm sure, but oh well. I am running un-tuned now with no rear 02's or AIR. (no egr here I already had the ls6 intake).

Watch out for large puddles in the rain, that thing acts like a vacuum and can hydro-lock your engine in no time.
