I agree, accidents happen. But why not simply return it for the one that is made for you car?

No need for name calling, I am just stating that it seems silly to pay for an intake that isn't made for your car, possibly mod it to the point that it is not covered by warranty anymore ... than to simply return it and get the correct one. I am sure that I could make a Chevrolet Cavalier intake work if I spent enough time on it, but why?
i got it off ebay, no return

I think randode has a part for like 35 bucks that will make your CAI work.

Contact him.

Now that's irony...I was at least smart enough to buy the correct intake for the car.

ok...so the point of this thread was for him to figure out how to convert his 05-06 intake to an 07-08 style...he did it...so lets close this thread because it's completely useless now
