Items needed to make CAI:

1) 1/2 in. x 1/2in PVC Barb x MIP
1) 12" Schedule 30 3" ID PVC Pipe(3.25" OD)
1) Coupler that will fit over the Schedule 30 3" ID PVC Pipe(3.25" OD) it will fit over the Throttle Body as well
1) 2' 3/16" Rubber Hose(has to fit 3/16 in. x 1/4 in. Brass Barb x MIP)

Ok Lets Start!
Step 1.) Start by removing the Air Intake Resenator. Unbolt the following Screws:
After you have unbolted the bolt in picture 1 below remove the accordion style stock hose from the Air Resenator! Then proceed to unbolt the rest.
Make sure to unclip the brown clip that holds the IAT wires.
Remove this connection as well
Step 2.) Take the 12" PVC pipe and cut it around 6 3/4"
Step 3.) Go to your truck and attach the coupler to the Trottle Body. Once thats done insert the 6 3/4" cut PVC pipe. Your going to want to take some time and make sure you fit the PVC exactly where you want it. Make sure that a good 1-3 inches of the PVC are inside the coupler. Make sure you also attach the accordion style stock hose that runs from the Air Filter, to the PVC Pipe. Snug them down so that they will stay.
Step 4.) Take the Sharpie marker and mark where you want to drill the holes for the PVC and Brass fittings.
Step 5.) Once you marked where you wanna drill, drill the holes. MAKE SUREthat you find a drill bit that will drill a hole big enough to fit the PVC and Brass Fittings. I just have listed what drill bits I used, yours may vary. I recommend that you test drill bits usind a peice of wood insted of the PVC.
Step 6.) Now take your dremel and smooth out the holes. When I used the 3/4" drill bit It was just a tad small for the 1/2 in. x 1/2in PVC Barb x MIP so I had to use a dremel and sand it down to get it to fit. You might not have that problem but I did. The 3/16 in. x 1/4 in. Brass Barb x MIP
fit like a charm for me. NOTE: Make sure you sand down the top of the holes the same goes on the inside of the PVC.
NOTE: Make sure you clean the PVC Pipe out. Get ALL of the plastic particles. You dont want your engine to suck up the Plastic Peices now do you??
Step 7.) Now take the Teflon Tape and wrap the threads on the 1/2 in. x 1/2in PVC Barb x MIP and 3/16 in. x 1/4 in. Brass Barb x MIP and install into the PVC Pipe. I used a Wrench to Install the Brass fitting and Tongue-and-groove pliers to install the PVC fitting.
Step 8.) Boil up some water. Once boiled pour some into a coffee cup and stick the Rubber Hose into the boiling water. Let it sit for a while.
Step 9.) Attach the Rubber hose to the proper fittings on the PVC Pipe 1/2in to 1/2in and 3/16in to 3/16in.
Step 10.) Go back to your truck and install the PVC Pipe as done in Step 3. Tighten everything down. You will just need the 8mm socket to install.
Step 11.) Take the hoses and install like shown in this picture:
Step 12.) Clean up your mess and your done!!
Make sure that you keep your Air Resenator.
