So I bought a Weapon-R WAI for me 04 cavalier. The instructions included with it don't have any pictures and are half a page long, with most of that being a packing list. Is there a website that gives a tutorial on how to install an intake for my model, complete with photos?

None of the sites i know have them for the ecotec. But its pretty blatent.. Diconect the battery by 1 bolt where it sits on its platform. Open stock air box and remove the screws from the bottom of there. Dissconnet the rubber hose from it and then wiggle the box out of its place. look around the black plastic box that covers the TB, there should be a couple screws and some metal clamps.. remove and install your new one.

So I have to take the battery out?
Where exactly IS the airbox? And what do you mean by open it? The intake came in four pieces, how do I assemble it? Do I put the intake together first and THEN put it on the car? Is there anything specific I should AVOID doing because it might damage my car? Do I have to grease the new pipe or anything before installing?

I didn't even look to see if there was any instructions just ripped it out and put the new one in. Take tha airbox, black plastic box attached by plastic pipes. take off all of the screws bolts and those silly plastic things that hold it in and just pull it out after undoing all the jubilee clips and yank it out and then throw it at some kid riding past on a bike. it will be held in by the breather pipe, it'll just pull from this but don't damage the pipe you have to attatch this to the new intake!!

if you don't know where the airbox is, i'd recommend taking it to a friend or someone that know something about cars, watch that the sensor is placed somewhere where it won't be damp
