ok guys i just got an aem cold air intake and when i went to put it on i noticed the hole that leads to behind the wheel well was too small for the intake to fit through. i have only used short ram intakes (for water safty reasons) before, but i have heard of the problem i am having before so do i need to cut the sheet metal and if so what tool is best to use and how should i cut it. oh yeah i have a 97 base model.

 

dremel that baby

 

can't go wrong with the dremel

 

if you dont' want to buy a dremel...you can go ghetto and just get some plyers and bend the metal so it'll fit around the tubing

 

yeah im at school so i have very few tools with me so ghetto sounds like the way to go

 

i took a drill and a hammer and some needlenoses. don't ask me how i did it, but it was done. i'm gonna go in there with a dremel and clean it up, later.

 

thanks for the help guys i will let you know how it goes tomarrow

 

or use a 3 dollar hack saw, that works too

 

double barrel shotgun works glorious

 

Make sure to line the rigid edges of the metal with stanpro (push on trim seal) so it does not cause wear on the intake piping. It also makes everything look nice and clean.
