just bought an InJen cold Air intake for my new Civic Sedan Si and I am having trouble figuring out how to remove the Air resonator box from the left front, I was hoping to not have to remove the front bumper cause I have NO idea how to do that and am afraid of messing with those cheesy little plastic clips.
Any suggestions or ideas on how or if there is another way, otherwise i may just have to reassemble everything and take it to a shop, but I was hoping to do it on my own, I have all the tools in the world and I have pretty much installed everything else, but I just cant get that dam resonator box out and slip in the new intake.

What year Si? I have a 2000, and I know that if you have a 2000 or older you will have to remove the front tire; I talked with several people about intakes before settling on an Injen shot ram, but everyone said the same about the cold air unit, that is that you must remove the front tire prior to installation. Hope the directions for yours are better than the ones for mine were. It took me 45 minutes to decypher the intructions, and only 15 minutes to install the part.

he said si sedan so that means its an 07-08 because they didnt make an si sedan before then. Most of the time with CAI you have to take off the front bumper. hope this does not come out as being an *** but you should have done some research first

For the injen cai you have to remove the bumper and the front tire as well as cut the inner fender to give it enough clearance

Looking to purchase a CAI in the future and have the sedan. Are there any others in the market that don't require the removal of the front bumper or the cutting out of pieces???

I will rephrase... Are there any other after market brand's of CAI's that will not require all the leg work of removing the bumper and cutting... AEM? K&N?...

just get a SRI. Exact some HP gains, cheaper, less work to install and looks better imo when you open the hood.

pop off intake box and tube, install SRI, done. No having to remove bumper or cut anything underneath.

I agree. For the few h/p you would gain with a cai over the sri it's not worth the hassel imo. SRI ftw.
