Re: My "Custom" CAI
Does it feel any different? I know when I did a cold air on my old honda it was pretty noticeable, even for such a small motor; it gave the honda a little bit better bottom end.
If I were you I'd take a small bit of hose and put is inside the cutout so you don't have metal on metal there.

As a side note the factory rubber hoses that are used are very restrictive. Your ultimate goal should be to replace them.
