Jesse, maybe a little more info might solicit some responses...
1. What Brand/model of CAI are you trying to install?
2. Where is the problem?
a. air tube to throttle body
b. filter to air tube
c. heat sheild
d. something other
Can you post a picture of what the problem is?
There are so many different CAI kits on the market that it would help if you would narrow it down for us.
