Okey I have an 05 tC i got the trd cai and its just been sitting in the box so today Im trying to install it finally.

I have a few questions I'm not 100% i can pull apart my fender so I can just do the short ram right?

and also if i did put the full cai together what do u do with the stock piece of hose does it like matter if u leave it short or do the full on? Do you cut it? Im a little confused on that? Any help wud be appreciated thank you.

Sorry if this is confusing Im not 100% on the names of these parts.

You cannot leave it a SRI unless you cut it, just follow the directions.

 

Take your bumper of..

Then to maneuver the CAI part of the pipe start with the pipe in the top of the wheel well, then move it into the engine bay in a clockwise downward movement. It will then fit. gl.

 

there are 3 bolts on the fender on the top and one or two bolts in the front, take the fender off to make it 5000000000x easier for you

 

Thanks for the help but i forgot to check this. I got it all together took 2 hrs I took the inside wheel fender off instead that worked took awhile to get back together tho.

 

tbhat's what youre supposed to do lol.

 

geez!it took me almost 4 hrs to install mine. we ran into many snags though.

 

same, took me about 4 hours. i had a hell of a time taking off the stock pipe thing inside the fender...i could not find a screw driver that fit in the fender opening for the life of me.

i also removed the bumper. much easier than doing what the provided documents tell you.

 

o wow tyhen i guess i didnt do to bad it just took a long time to get the plastic pieces to fit again

 

yea, taking that screw that mystik mentione was a beatch!! also, i tried to install it without taking the fender nor the bumper. it sucked but i was able to do it, and scratched the hell out of my TRD intake in the process.

 

 

o wow idk i attempted to fit it through didnt work so i just did it normal my biggest thing was getting it back together i had no troubles otherwise it doesn't rattle or anything drove round with it today hit up to 100 still np

 

WOW, 4 hours? No offense or anything but that is forever to install an intake. I can have springs changed in 4 hours.

 

yeah, i'm no genius with cars and i got my injen installed pretty quickly. i had to borrow a 90 degree screw driver but aside from that it was smooth sailing.
