If it's an SI it will fit.

OH

MY

GOD.

I dunno about you but that was the most complicated and most frustrating C.A.I I have EVER DONE. I have done probably 4 cars so far, as well as a few friends, and first of all never did I ever have to reroute coolant lines, never did I have to take the entire bumper off lol. Everything was a pain, from having to buy a hollow socket to take the battery off (why did they make those pegs so long anyways) to having to buy a 10 inch extension to take the filter off, to breaking a clip or two, wow.

BUT ITS ON AND I AM HAPPY!!!!!!

lol

^For reals, I hate working through the civic engine compartment....

Was it even more of a b1tch fitting the tube through the frame to the throttlebody?

Cuz it sure was one to me!!

[ley]

yea that was a pain too. I kept getting the elbow twisted, the reason why I probably took so long is that I baby the hell out of my car and I just took so long to do everything extra careful. I spilled a lot of coolant though. :P

Hey anyone got any ideas to cover up the excess space in the wheel well?

I am glad I had the DIY here though, the instructions that injen gave were a joke.

Repped
Thanks for the quick reply.

It was kind of hard. You need a short 10 mm socket and an extension... It took me a hour to get off the bumper, then about a hour and a half for the stock intake and another hour for the injen intake and about 15 minutes to reassemble the bumper and shit. I was getting really frustrated. None of the stock intake seemed to want to come out. Then putting in the piping, you have to have someone else to help you guide the pipe up into the engine bay due to the wires and other shit being in the way. Got to admit, huge pain in the ass but after I did it, it seemed kind of easy

I thought the instructions that injen gave were actually very handy when it came to the coolant lines, and its always better to have more pictures.

the install took me about two hours with a friend, but it was cuz we took our time since we had alredy done a few install. I spilled a some coolant and im wondering if i should buy some to fill it up again?

How much spilled....I lost about a decent glass sized and I never added any. She's still good as far as the level goes

What size and how many extra hose clamps do you need?

[06blaksi]

I'm not sure on the size, I just took my hoses with me to Home Depot

[07_FG_4Dr_S.i.]

heyyy sounds amazing on my s.i. great product took me about 1hour and 15 minutes by myself , worked on it after work at honda after operating hours since im a c-tech i had permission to use the shop and shyt , i didnt have to cut the fender lining thought its weird that the direction tell you to i just removed the fender lining wall clip installed intake and reinstalled that fenderlining clip only thing is that its a real bitch to put that elbow on !!!!! with the freaking throttle body spacer isntalled goshh !!! anone else have that problem ?

I used clamps on the top of the 2 hoses (coolant line and the other one) but where it connected to the intake I ran out of clamps... How safe is it to run it like that? I need to get to the hardware store

Ok. I think theres something wrong with my engine itself. I have an 07 si sedan. I keep hearing like click click click click noise. My friend told me it might be the valves thats somethings not right. Can anybody seem to know what could be the sound thats coming from and is it like oh my god bad or its just not good because im going to take the car back to the dealer so they can check it. Anyways another question. If I install this CAI, wont it kill the warranty?

it wont kill the warranty as long as nothing happens to the engine because of the intake.. if you're already having issues, i'd get that fixed before you invest in a CAI since the dealership can possibly pin the excuse that the CAI caused it and void your warranty
