Whipple SC CAI

[Jloui]

Hello to all ,
Almost done installing the SC system on my GT, everything went fine till I had to fit the air filter, it seem that the filter is to long and won't fit properly!
I would appreciate any advise on this matter.

Many thanks,,,

It fits in there, just remove the hardware for the sheet metal and the air filter tube, get the filter in the area, then put it all back.

Out of the entire install, this is where you got stuck?!?

I'll be working on that.
Now there this hose that fits on the OEM filter, the manual does not give any instruction on what to do with it?

I would imagine you would just delete it. It is the sound tube. Remove it from the firewall and plug the hole in the firewall. I think there is a 10mm bolt that holds it to the firewall.

The kit came with a plug for the firewall when you remove it.

It does address in the instructions. That is the factory sound tube, it gets removed and you install the ford grommet in its place at the firewall.

save yourself some trouble and time and just yank it off the firewall. thats what I did after struggling to reach the 10mm nut holding it in place. rips off easily...soft rubber/plastic

I'm assuming you just left the 10mm nut in the firewall...I know it seems obvious, but just making sure before I run to the garage and yank that sucker out.

Sorry about the thread jack OP.

Yep. Having the right tool can make this process much easier.

Pick up a mini-ratchet (3-4 inch length like this one: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200392524_200392524) and you can have it off in less than 5 minutes.

All fine and dandy for you guys that don't have 7-inch wide hands. Not a chance in heck that I could have fit my hand down there far enough to get the flex-ratchet on it. I tried for 5 minutes and said "nope, it ain't going in there" and reached over and just gave it a yank - and then hollered into the house and had the significant other put her small hand in there to plug up the firewall.

I laughed no offense taken. My arms are just too big to squeeze it there and move a tool around.
