Installing a Injen CAI

i'm buying a Injen CAI very soon. i want to know if anyone knows where i can find a DIY for it, i saw one for a AEM CAI, and i'm guessing for the majority its basically the same so would that work? also how hard would it be? i thought i read way back when someone mentioned having to take off the front bumper, do you have to? and lastly hows the sound on it, i want something deep but not to loud.

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

Follow the headlight clearing DIY for the bumper removal... it isn't necessary, but makes it a whole lot easier to see. Remove the stock intake system. Bolt in the Injen. The directions are pretty good.
When you're done, you get this...

injencivic is a glorious beacon of light

you dont need to remove the front bumper. Its easier to do it that way but its not neccessary; I am working on DIY for this since i am the Guru for Injen

I was also changing oil at the same time... that's why the car is on stands. You don't need to jack the car if all you're doing is the intake. Another thing I just thought of... You'll probably have to trim the corner of the battery shroud to get it to fit with the pipe, and use duct tape or something to attach the rubber frame spacer to the pipe... otherwise it will fall off and the frame rail will rub the pipe.
