another mazdaspeed CAI thread

[boosted3]

Apparently sarcasm goes over like a turd in a punch bowl here. I'll be sure to add smilies and the cute-little-icon-of-the-day to ensure my attempt at humor isn't taken too seriously. Marlin? It seems I'm the one doing the reeling....

You got me. Reading that as how you intended makes me laugh harder than before. Please throw me back. I'm too small to be a keeper.

Took me and hour maybe hour and a half. Skill level-Medium, (Installed CAI on other mods on my MSP).--->If i cant get it off i break it off or cut it off! (hand) I took a look at the pics people have posted on the forums, which helped a lot. The biggest pain in the ass was that air direction thingy in front of the drivers side, wheel just behind the fog light. I simply popped the pins holding it to the left side then jerked the s*** out of it (left and right rotating it) until I could get a good angle at the screw which is recessed and WAY at the top. That thing took me about 20 mins to get off. After peeling back the wheel well liner it was fairly simple. The install of the CAI really easy. The hardest part is taking all the stuff OFF the car prior to installing. Now its time for(cheers). Need help with anything PM me.

myself and my coworker who is also a schooled mechanic put on my mazdaspeed intake in just over an hour. not terribly difficult just time consuming. and yes, breaking the air direction piece once inside the wheel well is the best way. release a few bolts and then yank. the intake sounds great, and the bypass valve can now be heard loud and clear.

See you dont have to be a skilled mehcanic to tear stuff up..lol

Would it have been easier to just drop the front bumper cover off?
