Folks, I'm installing a AEM CAI and need to know if there are any tricks of the trade that can help me. Any info can and will help
Thanks
Wade

 

Wade, I got the red intake for you as the silver wouldn;t look too good with your black S.

Also note i have 1 more intake in stock (red only)

 

I still didn't get any answers from the one who have the AEM or INJEN CAI???

How easy is it to replace the filters? DO you have to remove the bumper? Or do you remove the fender wheel well? Or from the engine compartment? Have any of you checked your air filter yet??

What about this type of intake?

Tricks:

Jack up the front right side off the car. Use a dremmel like tool to cut the plastic. Call me if you have questions during the install.

I can do this for $100.

 

filters require bumper removal in my opinion but you might be able to squeeze it out the bottom around the under side molding.

no removal of fender well or any other plastic just the bumper..

I have not checked the filter yet. It should have 30k in it like most after market filters.

 

Actually you need to drop the whole splash shield - its much easier and safer if the front of the car is up about 1foot or more. There is no reason I can think of that the front bumper needs to come off - you can crank the right tire to the full lock right and have plenty of room to manuver.
I would also wrap a small portion of the swaybar with 2"L of heater hose where the piping touches to prevent ratteling. Use some zip ties to wrap everything nicely behind the piping and try to use the OEM clamps on the vacuum lines - looks cleaner.

Any questions.. drop me a PM - glad to help
