FS: Craven CAI -- NEW, still in box

SOLD!!

To finance my other impulsive mod purchases, I need to sell my brand new, still in the box, Craven Speed CAI.

Although it retails for $278 plus shipping, I have it on eBay for a Buy-it-Now of only $235 (plus shipping):

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...1833815&rd=1,1

I will sell it to a NAM member for $235 including shipping (but buy it here, not through eBay), and you can save well over $50.

SOLD!!

I have that in my ebay right now watching it. Thinking about getting it but have a couple other options that I am tracking also. I might be sending you a PM to get that from you.

PayPal -- PM me if interested and I will send info (I will ship no later than within 24 hours of payment).

I'll accept a money order, but that of course takes longer.

hmm. . . truth is: I don't know. Hopefully, a user like Intense can answer this.
I looked at the instructions, and they merely state that, to install the top, slide it all the way back and press down in front until it clicks.

The top is machined to fit exactly. The rubber moulding on the firewall keeps it in place. No Screw, bolts or other hardware is needed. It's really a quite elegant design.

Thanks for the info, gnaster.

It does look like a good system. I'd hold onto it (I'll probably be getting myself another one in a few months anyways) except I felt that, driving a cabrio, I should prioritize the USS and strut bar I'm getting on another Marketplace thread ahead of the intake - I need to get rid of some of this cabrio flex.

I second this however, I'm a bit of a freak and used two dabs of silicon on the front corners to hold it down. The top does lift off quite easy so I wanted to make sure it stayed in place and didn't bounce around.

The look is awesome and the fit and finish was perfect. I love the look of the filter under the smoked plexi!

A couple questions about the CAI system.

A couple questions about the CAI system.

Does it fit an automatic MCS?

Will it fit with a JCW strut bar installed?

It should fit with an automatic, the only part it replaces is the airbox and not the hose. I think the intake hose is different on an automatic.

Might want to call Kellen at Craven just to be sure.

I'm not sure on the brace clearance. I'm not using a brace atm

It will fit an automatic . . . as Intense points out, only changing the hose (like with an ALTA) would make a difference.
I'm also not sure about the JCW brace. I'll ask on the mod forum.

For another data point. The Craven CAI does work with the M7 strut bar.

Here's the response I got on the mod forum:
yes they can!

I have that combo on my car (see latest issue of MC2 magazine, car is featured in the track day at amviv-workd very well together!!

This brand new unit is still available -- but only until the eBay auction reaches reserve or somebody takes the Buy-It-Now option.
