I was wondering, it is difficulty to install a cold air intake system in my 95 Civic 4D LX. Many auto shops are charging more than $100 for installation so I figured it to be difficulty to do, but the cold air intake system look simple to me to install. I am not really sure if there anything else that I got to do besides installing the pipe. Is there a website or anything can give me an instruction to installing my cold air intake. Thank in advance

I wouldn't pay to have it installed. Aside from installing an exhaust, it's the easiest thing. Just follow the instructions, but it's not too hard to figure out for yourself either.

I found the easiest way is to also not remove the front bumper.

yeah when we put my intake on we didn't take off the front bumper and it was still quick and easy...

but if your car is a little older, like mine was when idid it. the plastic plugs arent so friendly to come out to get the fender lining out.

mine broke and i had to buy new ones to keep my fender lining up. so be careful when you pry those off. Here is a good site for installing a cai and also for a variety of other mods, and or tips.
