What up guys?
I was wondering how much work or difficulty is envolved in installing a AEM CAI in my 02 RSX... its a base model 5spd.... any help would be appreciated
thanks!

 

Remove the front bumper, relocate and replumb the washer fluid reservoir to the passenger side of the car (only hard thing about it), remove stock airbox, install AEM CAI.

 

dont u gotta cut a part of the wheel well? maybe not but for injen cai i did.

 

its easy...yes there is cutting involved, the process isnt hard just time consuming if you want to do a clean job.

 

what he said

 

if you want to make a 2hour trip north, i'll help you with it

 

installing the aem coldair was a bitch. It took me like 3 hours to install just the intake. I didnt have enough time, so i didnt install the bottle washer.

 

Is there instructions included with the intake that show you what the hell your soposed to be doing?
OR is the Ram Air easier to install??

Thanks for the help... I appreciate it!!!

 

it comes with sufficient instructions...if not you can always do a search on clubrsx.

if your mechanically inclined i dont see it taking you more than 4 hours (including doing the washer bottle relocation)...however, a lot of people choose not to move the washer bottle (they just remove it off the car and leave it out)

if you have the AEM CAI already then go for it, if you havent bought it yet...get the injen CAI-its a lot simpler.

Nope, the intake will hit the bottle if not fit at all if left on.

 

also put your car in 5th gear that way u know how much space u have to clear the gear lever.

 

Why not just get the Injen CAI? It comes with a replacement washer bottle.
