Probably.

But I don't think so. The pipes only fit one way. When I was installing it I had to do a 180 degree turn on the MAF sensor because of the pipes. So now the small end is nearer the TB and the bigger end is nearer the front of the car. Would that make a difference? Perhaps I got the wrong CAI system and the pipes and everything are wrong?

That sorta looks like it. But mine is really dirty and it's hard to tell.

Dude looks like you were right. I took the CAI out and turned it around and now the car is staying on. Thanks a mil!

The problem I have now is there's a whole lot of shakin going on. Idle problem or engine mount?????
