If you have a CAI System then the box must come out in order for the CAI to fit properly. Take the time to install your system correctly!! If you jack your car and put it on a safety stand, take the left wheel off, and remove the forward panel and lower air dam panel from the car this will give you all the access you need to do the job properly. doing this only adds about 30 minutes total to the job, besides there is one bolt under the air-dam panel that needs to come off in order to remove the air-box.

And no the bumper does not need to come off to install the CAI!! Just the two panels, one in the front lower wheel well and the front left lower air-dam panel (Maybe 8 screws and 6 Quick install type fastners). Other then that... FOLLOW the instructions that came with your CAI System!!

Also to prevent any problems after CAI install, follow the following before starting any maintenance and after maintenance proceedures.

Resetting/Relearning ECU

If at any time while working on your car, and you intend to be disconnecting any electrical connections, or working around the electrical system/wiring were you might damage, cut through, drill through the wiring; you should disconnect your battery. There are several computers located in different areas of the car; like your home computer and circuitry, you can harm/damage your car’s computer/s with a stray voltage strike. Be safe, disconnect $$.

Resetting/Relearning process for the ECU/PCM & Throttle Position Sensor after maintenance. Before starting any maintenance:

Turn all accessories off; Headlights, AC/Heater, Radio, etc. Make sure windows are rolled up and doors are closed before disconnecting the battery.

Disconnect the Negative battery terminal, then the Positive battery terminal. You can dissipate any stray voltage by applying the brakes, or by touching the Negative and Positive leads together after they have been removed/disconnected from the battery. If the battery is disconnected for a long period of time this should not be necessary.

Do your required maintenance, and after the maintenance is completed, do the following to reset/relearn the ECU/PCM and reset the Throttle Position Sensor to its neutral position.

Reconnect your battery terminals. First install the Positive lead, then your Negative lead.

Turn your ignition key to the “ON” position but do not start your car. You will hear some clicking under the hood, this is your Throttle Position Sensors relearning its neutral position. You may also have some flashing dash lights. Wait about two-minutes, then turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position for ten-seconds.

Turn your ignition key to start the engine; let the engine idle for at least ten-minutes. Your engine might idle rough at first, but it will smooth out as the ECM/PCM learns its new parameters. Turn the engine “OFF” for ten-seconds.

Restart the engine and take the car for a test drive for about 20 minutes. Normal driving, no hard accelerations or stops, do not WOT the engine (Wide Open Throttle). After your driving cycle, turn your engine “OFF”. Note: during this first drive cycle, take it easy on the engine for at least the first 30 miles.

From this point your engine should have learned its new parameters and should be ready for your everyday type of driving. If you get a SES Light or any other Lights, have someone check your OBDII for any set or pending codes, post those codes for further trouble-shooting.

Clovisman, for sure e-rep for that one :thumbs:

Resonator = trash

god damn clovis. Rep for that. that entire post in itself should be a sticky.

I've posted so many times on how to do an ECU Reset, I just wrote it down in a Word doc. so when I need it I just cut and past .

Plan and simple, it's a good maintenance practice to disconnect the battery before any electrical work is done, to include disconnecting any electrical connectors. Our dealerships are getting to rich reseting our SRS Lights, it's a good thing we can reset our own SES Lights with an OBDII Code Reader, or with the help of an auto parts store!!
