cold air intake
 

ok,
i have decided to go with the CAI however i am getting conflicting reccommendations from the local shop. i know most of you are reccommending the CAI from AEM. however, i am a beginner and am not very mechanically inclined when it comes to autos, but i am learning. how easy is it to install in a 4cylinder 1995 accord ex sedan? do they make one specific that i can bolt right on or is it going to involve drilling etc? for me the best choice is going to be a CAI that performs well but is easy to install. also, do these things come with instructions or not? advice? thanks!

They are pretty easy to install. Takes about 20 minutes or so. they do have instructions, but I also suggest getting a Haynes manual because they are more detailed about removing the old intake. As far as drilling, no drilling is required. They are made specifically for for the car.

It is a direct bolton, you will need to remove the factory air box though. Very easy install. I had mine in my trunk before I had it installed and went to my mechanic for something else. He offered to install it for $20, so I said sure.

I could have easily done it myself though. Just follow the instructions and ask us questions. As for getting an AEM, I wouldn't get any other brand. There is no drilling, it does come with pretty good instructions. I don't even jack my car up to clean the filter. If you are dropped, you will have to jack it up to install and clean the filter.

Confirmation of what Big James and 94_Accord said..

& I suggest you stick with AEM (but Iceman is close behind)..

Wise choice on the AEM!

I got my aem from www.autodynamic.com

I don't know how their prices are anymore, but their customer service is great.
