I made up my mind and went with the AEM CAI and I am going to get it tommorrow. I was reading in the Lude forum and they were saying that it was extremly difficult to put it on the Lude. So I just wanna know how hard it is to install on a GSR

 

Putting the AEM in is the easy part. Taking the stock air box out is a pain. Overall though, it's a pretty simple install.

 

Exactly

 

it's a lot easier than installing it on a prelude

 

he sure said it. for installation guide take a look at this one. it worked for me. http://members.tripod.com/mintydip/

 

installation of the AEM is really easy on the GSR

no hardcore dremel work n stuff if thats what your thinking from the prelude..

Very, Very easy.

 

also, once installed make sure you check the clearances of the CAI around the A/C tubing by the coolant overflow tank and back where the intake goes in a downward direction before it does the 90 degree right bend toward in intake manifold. Before I learned about the AEM CAI "rub" problem I had rubbed through all of the insulation and started rubbing throught the SS A/C tubing by the intake mani Good luck!

 

very easy

 

Good God Almighty -- you do not, I repeat you DO NOT, have to remove the front bumper to install the AEM CAI. All you have to do is jack up the front passenger side of the car and remove 2 or 3 small bolts that hold the splash guards in place to gain access to where the K&N filter get attached to the end of the intake. Taking off the bumper is doing it the hard way...

 

Its pretty easy. Only hard part for me was putting the vaccum hoses on there the coolant goes the the intake manifold. ( I got coolant every where )

Stock air box is the hardest part to get out. One bolt it up in the tire well, which I had to bend back the entire slashguard thingy.

Its pretty easy though.
