YEAH CAUSE THE DIRECTIONS THAT COME WITH IT MIGHT AS WELL BE IN FRENCH. HOW ABOUT A PICTURE OR TWO? ANYWAYS... IM ANXIOUS TO GET MY INTAKE ON, BUT DONT WANNA F*CK ANYTHING UP! 99 CIVIC EX IS THE RIDE OF INSTALLATION.. ANY HELPFUL TIPS ON MAKING THIS A QUICK AND EASY INSTALLATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
THANKS.

Here go some tips:

1. Nobody here likes Caps Lock so take them off.

2. It's a friggin' intake! Just look at your stock one and you should be able to figure it out.

3. Put more info into the post. Is it short ram? Cold air?

Okay man if it is a cold air I would suggest taking off the front bumper it will take like 5 min, and then you can be sure that the filter and all is on tight. Otherwise you need to fold back the fender well and it is much easier to take the bumper off. The rest is hose clamps, and the one sensor hool up. Good luck man!

do what civxd said and remove the front bumper to install the filter . You are gonna have to remove the old air silencer that is located in that compartment as well as the entire air intake tract located in the engine bay . As far as hooking up hoses and sensors , the Probe (Electronic part) goes in the farthest hole in the intake , cut the black sheilding around the wires to make it reach , DONT CUT THE WIRES , Next attach the black hosing to the nipple part the extends from the intake , and last insert the tubing(Black metal pipe) that runs from the valve cover into the hole nearest to the throttle body , **HINT** I wrapped the end of the intake that goes through to the fender with a towel to prevent the intake from being scratched as I installed it . Better safe then sorry and it makes it look cleaner with out the scratches .

He's right. If you don't take the front bumper off the car then you have to work under the fender which is a pain. The front bumper is very simple to take off and it gives you much more room to work. The hardest part of the installation is taking the stock air box out. The resonator in the fender is in tight. Once the stock air box is out, installing the AEM is simple.

ok this for an iceman, but same thing. It had some pictures in it that are VERY helpful in finding bolts to remove. It helped me out alot in removing my resonator.
