So i just got my CAI in the mail today, went to install it about an hour before dark thinking it would be a quick install (what was i thinking nothen ever goes in easy haha) only to find that i might need to do some cutting? I got a 95 vtec, it looks like i need to widen the hole up to get the pipe through, then after that i relized i'd need to either make it either really big, or remove the bumper to get the air filter passed it.

So what have you guys with CAI's done?

 

make the whole bigger...........?

seems like a pretty reasonable answer.

 

Yes, make the HOLE bigger.

 

OMGZORS

 

you put the filter on through the bottom . take off the wheel well lineing or the under plastics. thats also how you remove the lower section of the airbox.
