what? i don't understand your question. I have a 95 civic and I installed a cai and did not have to do any cutting in the engine bay.

you shouldn't have to cut anything, it should be a straight for install, plug n play type situation.

I think he's talking about the hole in the side where your charge pipe comes up on a turbo setup.

It should already be there, if I'm not mistaken that's the hole that the stock intake system's resonator loops around through. Once you remove the OEM intake (think the last bolt to take that "U" shaped piece out is under the car) that piece will come right out and you can slide the intake right in...at least I'm pretty sure, I have to take another look at my engine bay.
