How many air filters needed for CAI?

[Shin87LXI]

Sorry if this is a dump question but, when you make a cold air induction setup and you add a filter to the tip, can you remove your stock filter in the engine bay?

everything thats stock gets removed and all but just your Throttebody is left open. Then u put a direct pipe to it with no resonators and shove a filter at the very end. For much more clear pics, go to the pictures section and look at the set up.

Wow, this is the second time I've heard about this Nate character being a dick!?!

edit:

Nate deserves to rip me apart cuz I just took a look at the engine bay and throttebody and now I understand completely.

Nate's a good guy. Everyone's good in their own ways and also bad in their own ways. By the way, those of you who don't know Nate (I don't either), if it hadn't been for Nate, we wouldn't have our 3GEEZ stickers.

That's what you should always do first. Take a look yourself, don't rely on other people for things that you can easily figure out.

I'll throw out a different spin on smufguy's reply.

Basically pop the hood, everything STOCK that route's, pipes and filters the intake air, EVERYTHING get's removed. You will then attach your cai directly to the throttle body and route your cai into the hole right by the battery to draw cold air from outside of the engine bay.

there we go, thats what i was expecting and Jim is the man.

Dude, i never said Nate was a dick and i never would. I said that to hear his response cause he would have smacked you up ur head for asking an obvious question.
