Any TIPS on installing the CAI?

I just order my AEM CAI and Denso Iridium Spark Plugs from Tim. I was just wondering is there anything I should know before installing my CAI or are there any tips you guys got for me. Thanks.

Almost forgot. I think the easiest way to take off the resonator box is to:

1. Take off the plastic pieces that surrounds and sections off the headlights. These are located to the left of the air box when you are on the side of the car. with the front to your left and the back to your right.

2. After you take out the filter box, look down and you should see the U tube that is part of the resonator box that is locatred below the metal fender well. This is attached to the resonator box by one screw. When you look down you shouwl be able to see it. Take this screw off and then try to twist off the U-tube. The box the U-tube os connected to is held in place by two screws to the body, so you should be able to do this. It takes a little force but it will come off.

The screws to the resonator box is the next hard thing to get to. That and access to the coolant hose is a bitch. Those were the things that took me the longest.
