I'm looking for someone who has installed a CAI on a 4th Gen accord (93 LX to be specific). Is it a difficult installation or pretty straight forward? Is there any websites on that? I looked on JDMFan.com or somethin like that and it was for a civic i believe. Are they the same install?
Also I'd like your input on any noticed power gain, if any.
Thanks

when you buy a brand new kit, it'll have instructions explaining EVERYTHING...if you're good at taking things apart & putting it back together, you'll have fun (& it's EZ)

The hardest part is trying to cut a 5" hole for the CAI to go through. What's originally there is a 1/2" hole. Have fun. :D

enlarging the hole is very simple to do. Just use a dremel, and it will cut it with no problems. The install should take you about a hour to do. Its very easy.

he's right, its not hard at all. the hardest part for me was cutting the hole, and that was only cause i didnt have a dremel on hand. what made it easier, was that you can go through the fender well to put the filter on. at first i didnt know that. i didnt want to get a cai, because all i heard people talk about was how you had to take the front bumper off to install it.
but definetly do it. as far as simple bolt-ons go, it will give alot better than just replacing your stock box filter with a k&n.
