Easy.

I see you're in Scottsdale....IM me on AIM sometime, I'm in Mesa. I'd love to meet up sometime. There are a couple of us that could get together.

This is not an internet dating board. How many times do we have to remind you?

Basically the AEM is very straight forward, just yank the stock one off then do some cutting in the bay for fitment of the CAI (the big hole to the left of your battery). A good idea is to line the hole with stan-pro, that way the jagged metal cannot rub against your new intake. You will most likely need to take off your front bumper. You might be able to get away with pulling the plastic lining inside of your wheel well and cutting your wheel. There is also one vacuum line near the right side of the intake manifold that goes to the (i think) secondaries unit that will be need to left open. The intake should come with a little breather to put on that.

Other then that, its pretty straight-forward.

 

im up for a little meet in scottsdale... if i can ever work the kinks out of my car!

Focker!


We should get a Prelude thing together here soon. A couple 3gen guys meet up at the Pavilions, but I've yet to make it down there. I'd rather do something else though...that place just makes me mad

 

yeah i have another buddy who has a 92 lude... then i got a buddy with a gsr, si, hatchback, then some other dudes with volkswagen and stuff

but it can be a fun time

 

Well I don't know bout the meeting....'cause I'll be quiet a drive for me..

But about the intake...

Like PrecisionH23a said... you can get away with not taking the bumper off by taking the plastic lining off and removing the plastic piece of crap (forgot the name). It can be kind of tricky taking it off, 'cause you might not be able to see the other screws..

And one more thing don't forget to put the vacuum line hose that goes close to the intake manifold or you'll see your rpm idle jumping. Other then that it's pretty straight forward.

Good luck.

dont know what stan-pro is but what i did was used a rubber hose, slit it down the middle and wrapped it around the newly cut hole.

5th Gen AEM in 4th Gen:

 

A split rubber vacuum hose will also do the trick. Stan-pro just makes it look cleaner. Basically it is the hard rubber liner you will see on the inside of your door jams. It has small metal strips inside of it that helps give it a contoured shape and add to it's strength.

Here is a picture of it that I used when I had to fabricate my front radiator support:
