[QUOTE="AL-Jazz, post: 1230821, member: 26240"] The Volant CAI came in so I was able to get it installed today. While mine is a 2010, I purchased the 2011-2014 kit knowing I would have to make some minor modifications for it to work. It was not too difficult and only required the moving (redrilling) of one hole in which to attach a bracket. I don't have a cap yet since the (very poor) directions stated one was to use the original factory overflow tank cap. I ordered one online and it should be here Wed. WIth the Kooks headers and this CAI, it sounds good and settled into a nice smooth idle. One suggestion if performing the same install, I would recommend replacing all the original and supplied plumbing. I ran to the local parts store and bought new 5/8, 3/8, and 5/32 tubing for the breathers and overflow hoses. Also on the valve cover breather I split the original OEM pipe and exposed the barbed end on which to attach the new 5/8 hose. The other end of the factory connector still snapped into place on the valve cover OEM connection. It was at a nice 30 degree angle which worked quite well to route the new tubing to the CAI. You can see the new tubing and the original OEM connection in the lower right of the 3rd picture. I also used hose clamps on all connections just to ensure they do not come loose while on the trails. Overall it was a nice fit and seems to be of the same quality construction of previous Volant CAIs I have installed previously on other vehicles. [/QUOTE]
