how did it just fall off???
if it's tightened down it should hang on as well as any other...
maybe the engine's movement caused it to break loose?
I agree, if properly installed it shouldnt just fall off, no matter how cheap it is.

Sucks to hear. Do you still have your stock intake to put on in the mean time?

Mars, a nice car like yours should'nt have a fucked up cheap ass intake anyway! Stillz has a stock SVT intake for sale.
BTW, did that filter look like before it fell off? Or did it get like that after people ran it over?
hahaha yea i know i shoulda bought a tru brand name CAI.... and yea i think it turned out like that after acouple people ran it over and flying all over the freeway............ oh and i got my stock intake in parts wit missing bolts hahah LOL.... i'm not gonna mess wit it now, i'ma park it in the garage as of now til i get back from cali....

sounds like an installation issue. I've had my ebay cai on for a year and several thousand miles, and it hasn't fallen off at all.
seriously it cant be an installation issue, i think it just slipped off..... the clamps and rubber piece that holds the two peices together are still on the car real tight...... i drove around yesterday wit no filter, and checked it again, guess wat the clamps and rubber peices are still together.... i'll try to get a pix of the clamps up before i leave....
