Installing CAI
 

:checkered i just got my AEM CAI and i was just curious if it is diffficult at all to install? are there any tricky parts? since its cold air should i remmove anything in the fenderwell to ake the install easier? thanx -Jason

depends... on my 98 Civic I'd have to drill a hole through the metal behind the pass side headlamp to pass the pipe through to behind the bumper. Yours may or may not have it already. :shrugs:

contact me if you need a hand

It going to be hard to help him....(Location: Santa Paula, CA)

:p

Not if he pays for a plane ticket.

bbarbulo.... i see what your talking about......but mine had it and it has a black piece of plastic pipe going through it, where the intake lokks like it goes.... but the plastic pipe doesnt connect to anywhere.. it just ends right under the airbox....will this get removed?

Its very easy.

You'll probably want to remove your front bumper.
This will give you access to the resonator (that pipe comming out of the hole the CAI will go down)

1) Remove air box and tube going to throttle body.
2) Remove resonator, screws for that are behind the bumper.
3) Install CAI.

I have some pics from my intake installation I can put up if you really need them.

oh.... so thats the resonator pipe in the hole thing...lol..... what does it do? it dont connect to airbox, but if it did it would be like a stock CAI.

It does connect to the air box. The air gets sucked through that opening, down behind your bumper into the resonator, then flows back up into the filter box, passes through the fliter then to the throttle body.

The resonator is fairly big, and it's function is to reduce the sound of air flow. You'll notice with your new intake it will sound alot louder.

Like I said, I have pics of it all.

:checkered cool man i should put it in today after werk. if i have any problems ill let u know so i can see the pics.
