DIY - Installation of Injen CAI..

[GSPOTR]

Hi guys,

Just received my CAI from the states and was wondering if its an easy process pulling the stock one out and replacing it with the one I received.. if so, are there any detailed instructions? (I did search but with no luck :()

Can't wait to hear the difference.. so sick of the stock sound.

Remove front bumper completely. It's much easier to work this that way

+1. I couple days back did the same to install the icebox. The bumper isn't hard to remove. Helps if a second person is there to take it off easier by holding one end. forced my younger bro to help :)

[GSPOTR]

thanks alot guys.. imma give it a crack - worst case senario i get a pro to do it for like 80 - 100 bucks.

It's easy as. Take the bumper off, take the airbox off. It's just a few 10 mill bolts and some Philip head screws and clips than put it on. If you have trouble pm me and I'll do it for you. Don't pay money for a job that easy!

[GSPOTR]

okay well hopefully its that easy.. im not that savvy with cars.. but i will try - have you done it before?

a bit more info on front bumper removal, very detailed.

[Fredoops]

While you have the bumper off, get a can of wd40 and a brush, do some cleanin while you have the bumper off lol.

[GSPOTR]

thank you guys.. i am seriously looking forward to this.. first mod :P

[roony]

oh one thing which I wanted to mention, use two flat head screw drivers on opposite ends to get the clips out. Too easy this way.

[Fredoops]

If you can, buy some new clips, I got mine from us for 20cent each x10

Yeah i have. I've done it to my eg, ep3 and my brothers dc5. Easy as. Don't need the clips unless youre really rough and snap them. And make sure you keep the original box. Handy if you get defected!

was going to install the CAI last Saturday but on Friday the 6th I got hit from the back and now =[ insurance companies are getting involved.. damn couldn't even enjoy it.

[roony]

Ouch bad luck. Hope the damage is only limited to the bumper

i am getting it assessed this Thursday - but it doesn't look like its only the bumper bar.. =[

[JPR28610]

assuming its not your fault, since its from the back. what happened? sorry to hear.

u assumed right - it wasn't my fault. I was waiting for the lights to go green and when they did the guy behind me didn't even give me a chance to clutch and put it in gear and took the back of the car.. =[

Here's one i recently posted up here that I had done myself on my car.

[GSPOTR]

Done! :D

Only issue that's bothering me is that the filter can be damaged by water n that's not a good thing for the engine.

I opened the box where the fog lights sit n now am bit worried bout water getting there.. any ideas?

[GSPOTR]

Oh forgot to mention.. lol I cut the box so air goes in but the cap isn't fully off.. :rolleyes:

[marquee]

i didnt have foglights just the covers i cut them open so it was 50% open never had one problem you will be fine

[JPR28610]

should be fine, unless you fully submerge the filter in water or else you can hydrolock your engine. just avoid those big ass puddles!

or else you could get injen hydroshield socks. though they do restrict air flow.
