How to install CAI?

97 Civic Si.

CAI is a generic one... with K&N Style filter.

unclamp the intake hose from manifold
unclamp air box/ resonator..( if any resonator)
unplug any sensors ( if any)
remove all intake hoses and air box stuff
put the first rubber clamp on manifold and dont tighten fully
put the first connecting tube.. then clamp then other tubes .(if any)
on the last tube clamp the filter on good.. tighten all clamps.
**Warning**
do not drive in puddles nor heavy rain.. so stay in the left lane if raining. Get a bypass valve if you feel you cant avoid the puddles.
you will notice in one week your fuel comsumption has gotten worse.. its because your drivin it hard so u can hear the deep humming sound it produces. take it easy and drive safley..

Show it off on the freeway..
