hopefully installing the new CAI today any tips on removing the resonator and what you used to cut a bigger hole for the intake.

thanks

 

I haven't put my CAI through the hole yet because it has been too wet around here. I have heard that you can get to it by removing the wheel well on the right hand side. If you need to cut it bigger use a dremmell

 

ok thanks...looks like removing the resonator is going to be a bitch

 

what i did is remove the first few clips on my front bumper so i could get to the bolt. Used a rachet with i think a 14mm attachment. It WAS a bitch, but that's cuz i tried to do it for about an hour before i decided to loosen up the bumper.

I enlarged my hole, getto style, with a drill, a hammer, and a file, but i'm probably going to go back and clean it up once i get some of my tools back from a delinquent loanee friend.

yeah i was planning on probably taking the whole bumper off

 

does anyone have pics of what clips to undo to remove the front bumper?

Go to NTPOG.com for how to on CAI installation

 

here's short description of removing the airbox/resonator - you may get away with just removing the turn signal to get to the bolts. this is for 92-96, but i don't think there is much if any difference

yeah i went there, just figured it would be easier if i removed the front bumper, wondering if anyone knew which clips to undo or anything like that

 

You don't need to remove the bumper - just the fender liner.

You can use any number of methods for enlarging the hole - grinder/reciprocating saw/big hammer/jig-saw/etc...

ok thanks

 

well when you remove the wheel well you can get to most of the bolts for the resonator except for the last one with is tucked in and hard to get to, which is why i loosened up the bumper. If you're more coordinated than i am, which is entirely possible, you don't need to. but after you take out the wheel well, you'll look and see a few bolts and screws which attach to the bumper. I got away with taking out only 2 or 3 of these. Once you're in there it should be pretty straightforward, and you shouldn't have to take off the whole bumper.

 

ok thanks

 

I just took the bolt out that goes into the fender for the front bumper and I was able to get it out that way hope it helps!
