IDQcivic should not be trusted
Tried what? put on an intake? most people on here have them, its easy to do. My AEM CAI came with instructions so there was no need for a DIY.... why would it not be a good idea?

if your hesitant to do it yourself then dont....some people just dont feel comfortable with it.
i can understand! sometimes you should just pay to have it done professionally


but if you do decide to do it yourself, just take you time and do it right! no shortcuts or anything....or your gonna screw your engine up, or that $200 dollar CAI you just bought!
