Not too long ago I bought a K&N Typhoon 69 Series CAI......my buddy and I put it on, and let me tell you, the procedure was ridiculous. removing the old stock intake wasnt a big deal.....but then when it came time to take off the wheel and take out the covering inside the wheel-well just to get it all together blew my mind. i thought that this was an odd procedure for an intake. although, I love where the intake sits because of the amount of air it gets, I still think it coulda been a better planned piece.

dont get me wrong, I love my intake and the difference it makes.

 

I would hardly consider installing the CAI a ridiculous procedure, took me maybe an hour at most to do everything...but hey, thats just me!

 

Yeah, it took me about an hour to install mine too. Though, I didnt have to take the wheel off, I just rotated it to the side as far I could and then unscrewed the fenderwell and went to work.
That's how a true CAI goes into a Neon, they curve down into the fenderwell for the cold air.

 

Thats the way all true cold air intakes work...if it doesnt go outside of the engine bay then its a Short Ram Air Intake .

 

i just jacked my car up and worked under my car.. there is more than enough room to work under there.. i was too lazy to take the fender walls off and all that whatnot...

 

I thought you had to take the cover off to get the rest of the resonator out? Its been a long time since i did mine so i dont remember but thats what i thought...

 

I had to do the same thing. I think it actually pretty cool though being able to move the intake into its own little compartment away from the engine. it is a good way to get cold air.

 

no im almost positive that once you losen the screws it should just slide out from where it rests...i also have an aftermarket front bumper.. so i dont know if its harder with a stock piece there or not??but the only problem i had was with the grommet for the air sensor

 

yeah, theres like 2 screws and two weenie plastic hooks, took me all of 5 minutes to take em out and pull the guy out of the fender.

 

i installed mine like 2 months ago, and i didnt take anything off, one screw from the cover on the bottom, and yanked it out...
