No, you are stupid you can't be w/stupid when you are stupid! Unless you have a split personality? Hmmm.. ahha J/K man :wave:

Well I can't seem to get N-Body.net to work so yeah I'll help you out a little bit :) First you have to jack up the car and take off the drivers wheel. Start pulling out the plugs holding the wheel well in there and remove the screws. Fold the cover behind the wheel and there should be a bolt there. Take that off and then proceed to unscrew any screws you see that are attached to the air box. Then take off your headlight and it may take a while to locate but there is another screw holding the rest of the tube up in there. You need to get a swivel head wrench and possibly an extender in order to got to it. If you have any mroe ?'s just ask.

P.S. I assume by removing the resonator you wanted the whole aux. air tube taken off? Cause that's what my instructions are for.

Anybody who has done this is it worth it? All I can see it doing is making your car easier to suck up water.

How would it make it easier to suck up water? You would be removing the aux. intake tube so all that's left is the ram air tubing.

I have an SE so I don't have the Ram Air tube. When I looked at my intake tube, it goes down to the bottom of the car (where you guys put your CAI), then curls up to the resinator and stops with an opening behind the headlight. When you say remove the resinator I assume you mean removing the second piece of intake tubing that contains the resinator leaving the first pipe and new intake opening near the bottom of the car. Like a CIA, your car is now sucking in air from right near the road where all the water and road grime is. If you hit a puddle there is more of a chance of sucking up water. I could see no gains in doing this other than maybe more intake noise. To me, unless someone can prove this works, the risks far outwiegh the gains.

I had a CAI, and no fenderwell lining on my 94. so an air filter completly exposed. Drove it rain, through puddles, nothing bad happened. you'd have to completley submerge that part of the car for it to suck any water up, and even then, our cars dont have enough inward sucking pressure to be able to suck an unsafe amount of water in.

But is there any slight increase in power at all to make it worth it?

[koolZ71]

nope just sounds kool as hell:)

Bah ::chanting:: CAI CAI CAI CAI :thumbs: Might as well... you get a better sound, the security of a K&N filter and the all powerful 5 hp.

Well if you submerge the filter in water and you are on the gas, it will hydro-lock and your engine will be toast. I know a few people with CAI's that have hydro-locked their engines when driving through standing water and being stupid by keeping their foot in it. Anyway, there is enough sucking pressure to be able to suck an unsafe amount of water in.

I have the headlight out right now and I don't see what I am suppose to take out. I had the instructions up from n-body.net. From viewing the picture there, I am unsure of where that pic was taken, from the front or the wheel weel side. Can someone IM me if they can help please. My MSN messenger is b_labonte_fan_18@yahoo.ca

Thank you:(

[Blackalero3400]

whats the problem? silverbullet00

[Kodeblue]

No problems now. I went back outside and removed the fender lining and there it was, clear as day, lol. I was just afraid to take the lining off and still not understand it. Anyways, it is much eaiser to remove that part first then do the headlight part next.
I don't really hear to much difference though. Maybe a little more acceleration I think, maybe it is just pshcological too, lol.
