I want to install a CAI in my 2001 i4 LX, what I want to know is do you have to remove the intake resinator to install the COLD AIR INTAKE? Also on my 6 gen do you have to take off the bumper to take out the resinator?

 

yes and no in that order

 

how can I take off the intake resinator on my car and where is it, can you help me out guys.

 

Your intake resonator is in you front right bumper area. There is two bolts that connect the resonator to your car. You'll need an extension and you'll have to pull back the fender lining and the black plastic lining under the resonator. I would first take of your stock air box and the upside down J tube inside first.

Jacking up your car in front will help

 

do I also have to take off the fender to get the resinator out?

 

No you don't. Just jack up the front of the car and turn your wheel to the right. The resonator is right under your stock air box. Pop a few clips, pull back the black plastic in your fender and under the resonator to access it. Unbolt two bolts and pull down the resonator.

 

nope just make sure that you have the front end jacked up like he said then take off the inner fender well plastic thing then you should be able to see it right there

 

I just came back from the shop. I just installed the one piece and left the smaller piece off. I feel a difference for sure and I love the sound. Thanks alot guys, you helped me out alot. I dident remove the Intake resinator is that ok since it's 1 piece.
