Posted this in the Tech section, but no reply and it hasn't gone away yet.
Recently installed a C&L with tune from Bama, took it for a test drive, and I am hearing a little bit of a rattle under the hood (sounds like it is coming from the CAI). It seems to only happen when I am in gear rev/drive and I apply a small amount of throttle.

I think it may be the CAI shield, but not sure as I cannot tell where it is coming from, sounds like the front half of the car. Has anyone had this problem?

The kit came with some zip ties and it says to secure the front to the ABS lines if you want, but I don't have ABS and I don't want to drill a hole in my radiator covering like is suggested by C&L. Do I have any more options here?

Well, i have the same rattle as does many many s197 owners. Most people say it goes away once headers are installed.

sounds like its your shield since you didnt use the zip ties. find somewhere else to secure the zip tie or rig something up. i dont see a need to drill anywhere since there so many places to tie onto.
