Nitrous Install
Hey guys, ran into an issue installing my NOS plate kit on my car. Plate is all hooked up and good to go, BUT my BBK CAI won't fit. The 2 rivets that it sits into are not lining up (it's too long). Wondering if you guys out there have any experience hooking up an aftermarket CAI with a plate kit. Might just have to get another brand if not. Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated!!

This is what the CAI looks like (don't have 1 on my car). My mechanic installed my factory until my new one arrives. The aluminum is pretty thick and me and him both agreed it seemed a little sketchy to trim. But that was just our opinions.

Most Nitrous plates require some cutting of the intake on our cars. I had to trim a little off my Halltech MF103 intake's coupler.
Which plate are you using? At first i had the two stage plate which is thicker than the one stage and needed to make the switch to the single.
