here's a shot of the bracket. it stablizes the intake tube

last is a shot of the throttle body.. just run a tube from the valve cover to the opening on the intake tube and plug your sensor into plug on your tube also

where my filter is..that is where your second pipe will attach. you just run the pipe down through where the lower intake box is and set it right behind your front bumper where your stock fogs would go.

Hello,

do you know where i can find missing parts? i'm missing the rubber mount, a couple of clamps and a breather hose?

thanks!

the TB on his engine is positioned differently, im sure you know it would be easier to remove the fender from the car, and did you try aem for online instructions?you should be able to get all of those missing parts at the auto store or even like home depot

AEM CAI is all one piece not two?

well, it's a 2 piece pipe, and the part number is 21-413 i wasn't really sure if this is the right one for my car but i talked to 1 of the guy from aem and he gave me this part number instruction but just didn't come with pictures as to how it's gonna come out, it also has a bracket which i know that it comes with every single intake and i just don't know where it'll be attached or screwed, i already removed the stock intake and as far as i can see the pipes looks longer to where it would touch the tire on the passenger side, any more clues guys....

thanks!

well to get the x tra pieces if u havent just go to checkers,auto zone , pep boys. etc. they should have them ......One you get the first part of the pipe on u just have to fit on hose and 02 sensor if u have to and etc.....once thats on dont hook up the bolt for 2nd half of your intake...work with it get the 2nd part on even if it doesnt look like its going to fit and just move it around as much as you can to see if it is going to fit....shoot if it looks like its going to be too long but looks like it will fit do like i have before and cut the piece down....it does nothing to it just gives ya more room....i mean really just get both pieces on and hook it up in the engine then work with it.....you can figure it out from there .....once you have both pieces on in the engine then u can see how it will fit in there exactly and if you may need to move something or whateva...nah mean.... ive had nothing but 2 piece CAI so if ya want to know exactly id say email me i still have instr. on how to do it for a 2000 civic....
