I just remembered something that really sucked about installing the AEM CAI, you need to drain your coolant first because you need to get rid of this:
One of those pipes has coolant flowing through it, the other just runs air from the valve cover to the intake arm. AEM supplies rubber hoses to replace both of them. This was how it was for the origional AEM CAI, don't know if it's the same for a AEM CAI V2 install.
The AEM SRI is the same way. I didn't drain my coolant though. I just put a rag under the hose to catch any spills, pulled off and stuck the other one on really quick. Didn't spill hardly anything. I was quick with it
When I was installing it in my car, I didn't know there was coolant going through that thing, I had no warning so I wasn't expecting it at all, and it just went everywhere, lol. That was my very first mod, way back in 2001, oh the mammaries!
