I have searched but I've been unable to find a definative write-up for installing the AEM CAI for a 2001 CL-S. I will be installing one for my buddy in the next few weeks, and am not very familiar with the CL-S (YET). If someone could include a link with a detailed write-up it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Here's one. http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...4&highlight=11

 

The best one I found is from the acura tl forum - excellent step by step instructions as well as detailed photos. I believe it is just acura-tl.com and then check out the install section or do a search.

Thanks, but I don't plan on taking 11 hours to install this one. I went through tons of threads on the TL site and I am still coming up empty, and unfortunately, there is no search function other than in the FAQ section, and that came up empty as well.

Does anyone else have a detailed write-up?

 

Sorry about that. I couldn't resist. Here is a good one. http://wizardsworks.org/chod/acura/cai/

 

Thanks. This should make it got much quicker.

 

the comptech website shows how to disassemble the parts of your car that u need to put on the intake

 

It's pretty straightforward. The only PITA part is bleeding the coolant.

 

Cool...thanks guys. My friend's CL is still being worked on (5 months later) and is to be completed by the end of June. He's going to get like 3 weeks of nice weather with his car before the fall hits. Poor guy's been driving around a beater '90 Accord EX 4 door he bought just to get by.

 

 

I didn't bleed any coolant.... just pulled out the stock airbox and installed the Injen (same as AEM).

BTW, the directions I used are the ones Chad posted: http://wizardsworks.org/chod/acura/cai/

 

I had to bleed coolant. its right in the instructions. the two rubber hoses you replace, one is a coolant line so when you loosen the clamps and pull the hose off you loose a little bit of coolant; nothing major, but it does spill.
