AEM CAI Install 03 CLS ~ Questions

Anyone ever attempted an install WITHOUT removing the front wheel?

Anybody have a better pic of what coolant lines need to go where? Those AEM pics are awfully sketchy at best.

Any help is appreciated. My ride is half busted until I get this thing done.

I installed my icebox with out removing the bumper or wheel, and im sure that it is more involved with the icebox than the AEM. If you lay under the car you can reach all the bolts that you need to remove. You may have to snap off a cover or two, but its no big deal

You DON’T need to remove the wheel and you DON’T need to remove the bumper.
Jacking the left front up about 3” will make things easier, but even that isn’t required unless your car is dropped.

SEARCH is your friend.
Plenty of info to be found here if you just look around.

Hey chef, like spdy said, you do not need to remove the bumper...and in your case the AEM is WAY easier than the icebox to install, i've done both...but just remove all the clips and one screw on the driverside (the covers under the bumper) and pull the flap that will be hanging down towards the wheel and you'll have easy access to the resignator and stuff...

btw....thanks for the headers man LOVE'EM

Good Deal!
