Default CAI install for 4th gen

sup guys, im new to the whole engine modding and need to know whats required to install an intake, primarily removing the resonator. i did a search and only found a short ram install. so if anyone has a link or anythin, id appreciate it. mainly just need instructions for the resonator tho. the other stuff isnt all that hard. thanks.

well, everything is self-explanatory(sp)
first thing you need to do is to take out the oem/stock
intake(clamped down to tb), the hose from the value cover
and then the filter box and the resonator, the resonator is
bolted down, you going to need some skinny hand or long extension socket wrench.
oh yeah..you'll need to take the front bumper out too.
make sure you dont choke the engine by putting the filter too close to the tube
and not lett it slip down the tube.
You'll get wat I am talking about when you doing it.
is a piece of cake.
enjoy and take your time

Since when do you need to take the bumper off? I never had too....

Its easier to get to the resonator with the front bumper off. but if you dont want to take off the front bumper then remove the passenger rim and move away the plastic under fender cover. Thats the way I did it. Also in the 90-91 accord The CAI will fit. You will just need to grind out the hole that leads to the resonator so the piping will go down.
