Default Callaway "Honker" Install Question

Spoke with a Callaway rep at Carlisle last week regarding the CAI and he said you have to remove the shroud to cut it and install the intake ? Anyone do this install with the shroud in place? Noticed the Vararam folks didn't require the shroud removal!

It is impossible to install a Callaway Honker with the shroud in place. It has to be marked, clamped with the filter frame, holes drilled and rivets place through it and into the frame.

Take your time and pull the shroud.

after you remove the shroud, cut the bottom tabs off at a 45 degree angle. It will go back on alot easier

It`s a quality piece IMHO. They didn`t take any shortcuts, hence you have to take the shroud out. It`s really not that bad. You can bend that sucker into a pretzel and the shroud will go right back into shape, so don`t worry about damaging it.
