yes.

this is why you tie down your intake. I don't even know how it got close to your starter wires ... it sparked on the big thick wire **** that connects to the starter, correct?

proper installation would have prevented this

i agree, the CAI was already installed when purchased from the dealership, so i didnt even check to see that it was properly installed, i really think its the dealerships fault, but i just talked to AEM and i think they are going to warranty it out for me
