You might be able to find generic instructions - no how tos or anything. I read about it on some other protege forum. It is actually easy, I think it is better to just look at it yourself and figure it out. It took me a while to see how the intake was mounted but once I saw it I took it off real fast.
I'll just tell you how to do it, here's my first how to:
1. Remove the airbox that sits across the front grill. Just two small nuts on either side and a clip holding it to the rest of the intake. That takes like 10 seconds.
2. Next is the second resonator. It will appear like an elbow joint while it is still attatched. there are only two bolts holding it on. One is really obvious (it is right by that circular hole that Cold air intakes go into). The other is BELOW the stock airbox filter. Really dumb design.
3. To get to the second bolt, remove the two bolts holding the aribox filter in place (one on the side by the radiator tank and one by the battery in back of airbox.
4. Slip tube coming out of airbox out of second resonator (it should just pull out, for the longest time I though the airbox was bolted to the resonator as well, it is not, it just is attatched very well with the resonator's pipe).
5. Now lift up the airbox to access the second bolt attatching the second resonator. Remove it (while holding airbox out of the way. Remove the second resonator.
6. bolt the airbox back in place at the two points. Now you have a small 1" pipe leading directly to the airbox.
7. Tell me how it goes and how the throttle feels. It definitely sounds better.
Hope this helps.
