I'd just try to keep from driving through deep snow packs... if it's taller than the bottom of your front bumper, avoid it. do you have a kit?

BAH!
10 inches of snow! Welcome to my world! you Yanks (except the ones in MN or North Dakota) should try coming up to Canada for a while,
Hehe lol.gif
but yeah, just avoid the deep stuff, but really, you should be fine. Just make sure it's secure, all the pipeing and the filter.
You should be fine!

Nope, nothing to worry about. If it's too thick to drive, you'll be fine then. LOL

Only thing that bothers me is the fact that you said you didn't have to cut your fender liner for the CAI. If you don't have a liner, that could cause some problems as the filter would be exposed.

You got stock fogs?

yes to the stock fogs, but the cone isn't exposed. i really don't know how i was able to pull this off and no one else was....but i did try lining up the piping to do what everyone else has done, but i still think that it would have gotten in the way of the tire...thats just me. so, i just did a little mickey mousing and it's all good....i hope

How would it have been in the way of the tire?

You DID connect the tab on the CAI to the little rubber screw on both ends thingy right?

FIlter should be right behind your fogs.
