........huh?!
Is it a fender or engine mount CAI?!
If you use the fender mount you must remove the air box.

pics would help

yes it is the fender mount kind. i removed everything, except inside the fender there is a black tub/ snorkel going inside the fender well. so the end that the filter goes on will not fit in the hole.

You must get under the car and look inside the passenger fender...that is the stock air silencer that you are talking about.
Here is a pic of someone taking it out of their car and it shows exactly where it is in the fender

Here is what your CAI should look like after installed

rip that snorkel thing out from under the fender, it's the stock air silencer and has been proven on a totally stock car to rob 3whp. with that removed your cai should fit up like shown above
