I just bought the XOXO sports CAI is there anything special i need to do to install it?

 

tip: don't take the bumper off. instead, take off the front driver's side wheel and take off the wheel well liner to install the filter. (please use jackstand for safety)

other than that i think you only need a screwdriver and a 10mm wrench or socket.
also... make sure you put the MAF back so that the air flows through it the right direction. I think there is an arrow on it. (and don't remove the plastic grid)
Be careful with the temp sensor, its fragile. That's about it.

 

Thanks, but i was gonna use a wicker basket to hold up the car got the idea from the simpsons lol. How many screws do i have to hunt for in the liner before it comes off????

 

When I installed my CAI, I didn't remove the wheel, simply turned it hard over in the direction that gave me the most room (think it was to the right). I then removed the front fasteners in the wheel liner (I think there were three of them along the fender edge, and a couple on the underneath side) and gently pulled back on the liner until I had enough room to stick my hand in there. I am used to working in tight places by feel, your mileage may vary based upon experience. If you don't feel comfortable with my method, then do as dudeondacouch suggested and pull the wheel and entire liner. I would say you are probably looking at around 10 fasteners, you will know if you missed when when you try to remove it. Just be gentle.

 

Ok i might need a walkthrough or instructions i just had a brain fart when i opened the box with the intake in it.

 

bump

 

Just turn the wheel, I put on the filter, then a month later I put on the heat/slash sheild same way with the wheel on (Injen All the way, what a sound!)

 

what the prob?

 

1.take off the ten tons of plastic, that make up the stock intake.

2.relocate the container

3. Clamp the elbow to the throttle.

4. bolt the second pipe (one that attaches to the filter) in the hole infront of the driver side wheel.

5. get the other pipe and clamp it to the strait joint, and then to the elbow, (attach it to the mas when the other side is ready)

6. clamp the other joint to the pipe that will hold the filter

7. attach the hose from the Valve cover & then to the intake

8.open the wheel weel and clamp on the filter

hope it helps, let me know if I missed something...

 

i havent figured out what the two twisted brakets, The rubber thingy with threads on the end of it, and the nuts and washers are for.

 

It should end up looking like this (Dont mind the rustproofing all over the place, the engine bay got a hot wash

 

 

Nice, thank you also i found instructions when i searched the forum.

 

This is the container relocated and the bracket to relocate it

 

Its Hard to Mis with these High Res's

The instructions that Injen sent were a JOKE, It shouldnt take more then 30-45 min

I did the Job outside, its a good idea to cover your throttle with a rag or something...just to be safe

Good Luck
