Default aFe CAI installed!

I'm a complete novice when it comes to wrenching on cars but I just installed the aFe POWER CAI on my Z06 in just under 1 1/2 hours. The video instructions they have on YouTube were so easy to follow. I highly recommend that you buy this CAI and install yourself! Don't hesitate because you don't think you can install yourself. If I can do the install myself, I'm pretty sure anyone can.

I've read so many good things about it on this forum and can't wait to get it out of the garage. Just need it to STOP RAINING!!!

But I can't really drive it the rain. . .

I admit that I was a bit intimidated to get in and do this but watched the video a bunch and thought what the heck. . .just happy I didn't screw anything up!

Greetings,

Did you disconnect the battery first? Just curious...
