Default Newbie question ! about air intakes

This is my first post...
Anyways... I was just wondering if it's easy to install an air intake, I mean, I never took mechanics class in school or anything, and never did any mods on my civic (under the hood that is) but I'm alright with tools. You think I can install it myself?

How hard can it be? Did anybody have problems when install it?
I'm not sure which one I'm getting, probably a 30$ one on EBay or something.

I have a 92 CX Civic HB

You could probably do it, it isn't very hard.

the only difficulty you may face is removing the lower plumbing.. other than that, it's all easy..

If you can fall down a flight of stairs you can put on an intake.

installing intake is about one of the easiest mods you can do to your car.
