CAI Installation
Hello,
I purchased a Holden CAI plus a K&N Filter, although I believe I'm missing a part.
Original Air Filter:
CAI + K&N Filter Setup:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but obviously there is a part that sits on top of the Filter, and connects into my intake pipe?
Does anyone know the name of this part?
Cheers,
Chris

ok you had a pod ilter not the standard air box.
The air box is a 2 piece thing and one part bolts down and the filter sits inside then the top goes on and te pipe connects to it.
so you need the complete airbox and flexible joint to use the cai.
You also need to flatten the ends of the cai to about the bolt holes so it fits under your bonnet. A old iron can flatten this.

Yep thats all that is in the vs s/c v6 kit. the original airbox can be bought from the wreckers cheap as chips, then buy a high flow panel filter.

He's got the filter:P all he needs is a airbox lid and the small section of rubber hose and a couple of clamps

should fit, i was a derp and bought a VS SS CAI, not the VS supercharged, my snorkel still fit and still joins to the box. i think it's only the vn group a (and maybe hsv) airboxes that are different.

Alright, also, there is a hole at the bottom of the air box, I read on another thread this was used to put in another pipe which goes to the bottom of the car?
Here's a picture:
What's the deal with that?
Cheers

basically you've got most of the setup you'll need, you just need the box top and the pipe-joiner.
originally the cars came with a box bottom like what you've got in that pic^^ but a smaller opening, because the snorkel wasn't stock. some folks widen the hole and put the snorkel in it (it sucks air from over the radiator)
as well/instead of this snorkel, some people run a pipe out the hole down to the bumper, but i think people have had worries with getting water sucked up too.
there's also folks who do the standard snorkel, but bore a hole in the bottom of the box and also in the metal of the guard under where it sits and pipe through there, don't do this tho, as it's defectable.
