No instructions in the package when you bought it?

It's simple to install.
1. Remove your stock air filter tubes
2. Take off the cover from the air filter system itself (it should be in two parts)
3. Pull hard enough and "pop" off the filter box itself from the intake valve
4. Once you have everything from the stock air filter removed, you are free to install your cold air
5. Mine used 2 rubber connections to seal the aluminum cold air pipe to the car and to seal them to one another
6. Take your first (more curved piece) and connect it to the rubber and then to the intake port. Seal it with the clamps they should have given you.
7. Now you can screw in the other peice to the car and then seal it to the end of the first piece of aluminum piping.
8. Now you are ready for your filter at the bottom. Get under the car and pop off the little black clips holding the under bumper plastic together on the left side (if looking at the car from headlights)
9. Pull the plastic down, reach up and seal your filter to the piping that is already waiting for you.
10. And you're done

-Hope this helps, John

anyone have a link to a more visual guide to installing an intake in a 6th gen honda civic.

I'm driving a '00 EX Coupe.

Thanks in advance.

not that i know of, because its quite simple and doesnt need much explanation, u just unbolt ur old air box, remove any tubing associated with the old air system, and just put the newly bought intake in its place, all u need is a screw driver and the correct hardware to hold the piping to the intake manifold. if u dont know how to install it urself i strongly suggest buying a new screw driver in shiny plastic and start learning about ur car works and where everything is located and just get in there and do it, if u need to set aside 20 minutes if u think u'll have alot of trouble, and then come to me when u need a new engine installed ;-)

Just play around with it, guys....it's very easy to take out once you start undoing a few screws

I dont think you were supposed to cut anything...

one of those little hoses has coolant in it, do i just leave it? or tape it up? it connects to the intake as well!

as with any install, take your time

no coolant tube hooks up to any intake

somewhere you made a mistake and don't disconnect a liquid tube to go into an air tube

simple logic
