Hi, so i just installed my Evofusion CAI, but im having a little problem. the brake vibrates to much, i tried searching and i found that other members have had this problem because it is too close to the "brake line" can some one tell me exactly where it is so i can try fixing it. thx

Check to make sure the CAI isn't resting on the clear container with the black cap on it attached to the big black round thing stuck on the back wall of your engine bay
that is your brake master cylinder, if you let the CAI rest on it, it will eventually shatter it and you will lose brakes. try moving the cai around a little bit or fabricate a bracket for it.

mine was touching one of the lines coming out of the abs, my SRI ended up scratched up. with my CAI the same thing was going to happen so i wrapped the line in electrical tape and then played around with the coupling so its bent and not rubbing.

Any pictures? I am waiting on my SRI and from the install pic on Cosmo Racing's website, it looks fine, but will it be when I install mine? I am now concerned about this.

No need to be concerned. All you have to do is make sure the pipe isn't angled down too much, because this will cause it to rest on one of the hard lines coming from the brake master cylinder causing brake flutter. It's no problem at all, just adjust the pipe up or down to you have clearance from the hood and any other parts in the car.

Is removing the stock air box very difficult? I would like to do it in one night before it gets dark (installing the SRI as well).

It's very easy, just requires a ratchet for the four bolts inside the box. (10mm?)

Cool cool. I have a lot of tools so that shouldn't be an issue :)
