Try this site: http://home.socal.rr.com/capyoda/caiinstall1.htm

This is just a FYI, so use and perform this at your own risk.

Good Luck

The installation is pretty simple. I don't have a DYI instruction but I did snapped some pictures during my installation.

Just ask if you run into any problems. Hope this helps.

I have heard it is NOT necessary to remove the bumper but I find it much easier when I did. Besides removing the bumper only tool about 15 minutes. Just a bunch of plastic clips and two screws I believe.

To clean or replace the air filter, you do not have to remove the bumper. There's an acsess opening directly underneath the filter you can use for that purpose. It is a bit of a hassle but I only clean them once a year so no big deal.

I really want a CAI, but just have to find a place in the GTA to do it for me.

No, here's how.

After you install the CAI and the bumper is still off and you'r about to tightn that round thing hookin the cone filter with the tubing, make sure the screw thing is looking down, preferaly at a slight angle looking to the inside of the car.

This way, to clean the filter next time, all you have to do is: take 3clips and that 1screw under the Cone filter, move that black plastic part and VOILA, 2minute access to the filter!
**you do have to get under the car, get dirty or maibe you are rich enough to have a lift in your garage**
