a good shop in K/W to install a CAI?

[pgfreak]

Does anyone know a good shop in K/W that installs cold air intakes? (if I order it and give it to them to install)
Thanks.

Yourself?

Don't buy the CAI if you can't install it yourself.

Why is it a requirement that I install it myself? :confused: lol

Because it's such an easy DIY, that if you need help, you might as well leave your car stock.

post what car you got and someone here will probably help you out with some instructions...

its super easy... if you can change your air filter, you're half way there... if not then... well, yeah...

I dont do work on my car at all. And im not stingy about paying for it to be done.

Point Zero in Waterloo is reputable, but probably not the cheapest.

Do you fill up your own gas? That's about 50% of the work effort involved with installing a CAI.

There is a big difference between pumping gas and removing the stock air box, and adding the piping, and cutting the hole so that it can be situated behind the fender lol
Also, I highly doubt I have the tools. Since as I said, I dont do any work on my car (wipers are exempt :P) .

Wait one second,

now I understand if you are fabricating a custom cold air intake then yes you may need help, especially if you're incorporating things like blow off valves (depending on car), timers, etc.

However, if you just have a kit DESIGNED for your car, really all you do is unscrew the entire airbox housing, and it comes out....seriously... it's really easy.

There is still the matter of making the alterations to the car so it will fit behind the fender isnt there?

If the intake is designed to fit your car? Do you even know what a CAI will realistically do?

Depends on the intake, but most are just plug and play. A longer tube is used to change the area of the engine compartment (or wherever nearby space is available) where the intake element is getting air.

If you're interested in having a semi-ram air getup, take a look into an air bypass valve.

Also, I highly doubt I have the tools.

A Phillips should do the trick and maybe a small adjustable wrench.

I Know what a CAI does, thanks anyway.

And I got my answer on the car-specific forum as to what is needed to fit the CAI for my car. "You have to Cut the battery bracket and drill a hole through the fender to extend the filter outside the engine bay."
Thanks anyway.

This forum is brutal lol.

Clearly the guy DOESN'T wanna drill a 3" hole in his car on his own, nor does he have the tools. I don't see why he can't have a CAI.

LOL seriously, some CAI's even designed for the car requires cutting into the fender, heck some even require removal of a washer fluid resevoir. It really depends on the car

edit: btw since no one bothered to even answer your original question i will recommend a shop that I went to once, Saisan motors. The guy that owns the place knows his stuff, he's done plenty of jdm motor swaps, ect.

Don't go to Point Zero. Avoid them at all costs.

Marken Performance on Ottawa St is a better choice.
