    I wasn't able to get it into the CAI box, so I'm trading a guy my CAI for his stock and I'll do it like everyone else has. No big loss.

    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    ^^^that should work

    I used a 3-1/4" and it worked perfectly. After cutting the hole, I used a Dremel to make it oblong and clean up the edges

    Don't know what size hole saw you ordered, but I ended up wishing I'd used to bigger one. I had to cut quite a bit to expand my hole to comfortably fit the snorkel in, especially with the rubber tube.

    So should I get the 3.3/4 size instead?
    Or 3.5?
    I canceled my order.

    Oh man I'm sorry. Shouldn't have cancelled it, you probably would have been fine. I used an 83mm hole saw. Found it was a little small and had to make more cutting than I'd hoped to.

    In for one. We'll see how it goes. Slightly terrifying.

    Total of the order was $167.94 USD. Snorkel shows 1-month shipping time, so probably coming from China.

    Edit: Shipping was very quick from California. Got here in 7-10 business days with the holidays.

    Do these cause the elbow piping to rub on the emissions bracket at all? I had to shave mine down because the piping was rubbing on it so bad. I just wasn't sure how these lined up :notsure:

    I need to pop the hood and look at mine again but this is from install day and it was tight. That emissions thing basically sits on top of my pipe, close fit.
