post pics of CAI installed in a MS3

[Cysco]

I was wondering if the members with CAI installed in their MS3 can post images of their engine bay. Ive looked around on the forum and I cant find many pics with a CAI installed. Any brand will do whether its injen, cpe, mazdaspeed, fujita, etc. Thanks in advance.

My Own CAI:

Just the CAI before the rest of the FMIC piping was installed. Also, good pic of it unpainted. This was the test fit.

I got too much glare off the top side pic so if you get better post it up.

yeah, the glare is no bueno, but the other shots of the actually filter/shield were good.

people alwayz ask what that looks like

do we need to have the shield, or can it be installed with out?

The shield I believe is to prevent water from getting in. I personally would leave it.

Not really sure what the shield does. It is on the top of the filter so maybe it keeps hot air from the engine from being sucked in. If it is meant to keep water out I don't see how that would work unless it is coming through the front of the bumper (huh)

Water falls from top to bottom so its a roof for the filter. When I wash the engine bay its nice to not have water landing on top of the filter. Normal driving maybe water will work its way in the engine bay but I doubt it.
