ok, here goes... today i was about to clean my motor... get all the crap and dirt out when i look down at my intake and the rubber piece (attached to the filter) is like cracked in half, and the metal (i shyt you not) is pierced w/ like an 1/8th of an inch hole that some piece of my motor or something was sticking thru... lol... i may be a girl but to me that shyt DID NOT look right... so i took the bottom piece off and put the filter on the top half... well the bottom of the top piece... ok now have any of u ppl had the same prob or any prob w/ yer cai? and how about where it should sit and what it shouldnt touch, etc... i mean it was installed by someone else and i am pretty sure they did it right but i just want some other 2k1 people opinions... ok, laters..

the plastic around the filter broke? nothing is really supposed to touch the filter. this is from the AEM install instructions :

'check that the filter is not touching any part of the vehicle...be sure that the pipes or any other componets do not contact any part of the vehicle'

i remember when i put mine in i was kinda worried cause it rubbed up against the transmission a little bit, but i dont think there was anything sharp enough to go through the rubber and do that...i dont know what happened [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
